PREFACE. 



The principal Poem of this volume, Olivek 
Newman, was well known to many friends of the 
late Poet Laureate : and it is presumed that those 
persons at least, who have heard him read portions 
of it, with his peculiar and highly expressive 
intonation, will welcome with pleasure, not however 
unmingled with melancholy, this his last poetical 
work, imperfect as it is. Oliver Newman was not 
a rapid production : the first idea of it seems to 
have arisen in his mind in 1811; it was commenced 
in January, 1815; and having been continued at 
different intervals, amid the pressure of more urgent 
business, received its last additions in September, 
1829. Although this is not the place to speak 
critically, one observation perhaps may be par- 
doned — that this poem seems to possess in a consi- 
derable degree a quality which some of the Author's 
A 4 / 



Vlll PREFACE. 

other poems were judged by several critics to be 
deficient in, viz., a human interest: we feel that 
we are among persons of a like nature with our- 
selves, and their sufferings touch the heart. A 
general account of the story upon which it is based, 
and the intended plan, has been drawn up from the 
Author's notes, and printed as an Appendix. It 
was thought better to do this, than to leave the 
reader entirely without information : yet the sketch 
is presented with considerable misgivings ; because 
it is likely, that to some persons, notwithstanding 
that the Author's own words are used wherever it 
is possible, the dry bones of a poem may seem not 
only uninteresting, but even repulsive. Neither 
can such a sketch be certainly a true representation 
of the mere story of the perfect work ; because, even 
of the few particulars there noted, several might, 
in the working out of the poem, be altered or 
expunged. 

Of the other pieces here collected, the * Frag- 
mentary Thoughts occasioned by his Son's Death," 
and the " Short Passages of Scripture," are printed 
as much for the purpose of giving fresh proof of 
the purity and elevation of his character, as for 
their own intrinsic beauty. His son Herbert — of 
whom he wrote thus in the Colloquies, " I called 

to mind my hopeful H too, so often the sweet 

companion of my morning walks to this very spot,.

in whom I had fondly thought my better part 
should have survived me, and 

6 With whom it seem'd my very life 
Went half away ' " — ■ 

died 17th April, 1816, being about ten years old, a boy 
of remarkable genius and sweetness of disposition. 
These Fragments bear a date at their commence- 
ment, 3d May, 1816, but do not seem all written at 
the same time. The Author at one time contem- 
plated founding upon them a considerable work, of 
a meditative and deeply serious cast. But, although 
he, like Schiller, after the vanishing of his Ideals, 
always found " Employment *, the never-tiring," 
one of his truest friends, — yet this particular form 
of employment, which seemed at first attractive to 
him, had not, when tried, the soothing effect upon 
his feelings which was needful ; and in March, 
1817, he writes, that he "had not recovered heart 
enough to proceed with it." 

The "Passages of Scripture" are found in one 
of his latest note-books : they were evidently not 
written with any view to publication, but arose

* Schiller's " Die Ideal e," Merivale's translation, p. 61. — 

" Thou too, his mate, with him conspiring 

To quell the bosom's rising storm,

Who toilsome shap'st, nor break'st the form." 



Xll PREFACE, 

had received his final corrections for the press, 
there may be defects of language which he himself 
would .have removed. At the same time it is 
honestly avowed that, deservedly high as his repu- 
tation, both as a poet and a man, has stood among 
the writers of his generation — now, alas ! fast de- 
parting from us, — a strong confidence is felt that 
this small volume will in no way derogate from it ; 
and in this hope it is committed to the world.

OLIVEB NEWMAN. 



FUNERAL AT SEA. 

The summer sun is riding high 

Amid a bright and cloudless sky ; 

Beneath whose deep o'er-arching blue 

The circle of the Atlantic sea, 

Reflecting back a deeper hue, 

Is heaving peacefully. 

The winds are still, the ship with idle motion 

Rocks gently on the gentle ocean ; 

Loose hang her sails, awaiting when the breeze 

Again shall wake to waft her on her way. 

Glancing beside, the dolphins, as they play, 

Their gorgeous tints suffused with gold display ; 

And gay bonitos in their beauty glide : 

With arrowy speed, in close pursuit, 

They through the azure waters shoot ; 

B 



2 OLIVER NEWMAN. I. 

A feebler shoal before them in affright 

Spring from the wave, and in short flight, 

On wet and plumeless wing essay 

The aerial element : 

The greedy followers, on the chase intent, 

Dart forward still with keen and upturn'd sight, 

And, to their proper danger blind the while, 

Heed not the sharks, which have for many a day 

Hover'd behind the ship, presentient of their prey. 

So fair a season might persuade 

Yon crowd to try the fisher's trade ; 

Yet from the stern no line is hung, 

Nor bait by eager sea-boy flung ; 

Nor doth the watchful sailor stand 

Alert to strike, harpoon in hand. 

Upon the deck assembled, old and young, 

Bareheaded all in reverence, see them there ; 

Behold where, hoisted half-mast high, 

The English flag hangs mournfully ; 

And hark! what solemn sounds are these 

Heard in the silence of the seas ? 

" Man that is born of woman, short his time, 

And full of woe ! he springeth like a flower, 

Or like the grass, that, green at morning prime, 

Is cut and withereth ere the evening hour ; 

Never doth he continue in one stay, 

But like a shadow doth he pass away." 

It was that awful strain, which saith 

How in the midst of life we are in death : 



:. FUNERAL AT SEA. 

" Yet not for ever, Lord God most High ! 
Saviour ! yet not for ever shall we die ! " 

Ne'er from a voice more eloquent did prayer 

Arise, with fervent piety sincere. 

To every heart, of all the listening crew, 

It made its way, and drew 

Even from the hardy seaman's eyes a tear. 

" God," he pursued, " hath taken to himself 

The soul of our departed sister dear ; 

We then commit her body to the deep ; " 

He paused, and, at the word, 

The coffin's plunge was heard. 

A female voice of anguish then brake forth 

With sobs convulsive of a heart opprest. 

It was a daughter's agonising cry : 

But soon hath she represt 

The fit of passionate grief, 

And listening patiently, 

In that religious effort gain'd relief. 

Beside the grey-hair'd captain doth she stand ; 

One arm is linked in his ; the other hand 

Hid with the handkerchief her face, and prest 

Her eyes, whence burning tears continuous flow. 

Down hung her head upon her breast, 

And thus the maiden stood in silent woe. 

Again was heard the preacher's earnest voice : 

It bade the righteous in their faith rejoice, 

Their sure and certain hope in Christ ; for blest 

In Him are they, who from their labours rest. 

B 2 



4 OLIVER NEWMAN. I. 

It rose into a high thanksgiving strain, 

And praised the Lord, who from a world of pain 

Had now been pleased to set his servant free ; 

Hasten thy kingdom, Lord, that all may rest in thee • 

In manhood's fairest prime was he who pray'd, 

Even in the flower and beauty of his youth. 

These holy words and fervent tones portray'd 

The feelings of his inmost soul sincere ; 

For scarce two months had filTd their short career 

Since from the grave of her who gave him birth 

That sound had struck upon his ear ; 

When to the doleful words of " Earth to earth " 

Its dead response the senseless coffin gave : — 

Oh ! who can e'er forget that echo of the grave ! 

Now in the grace of God dismiss'd, 

They separate as they may, 

To narrow limits of the ship confined : 

Nor did the impression lightly pass away, 

Even from the unreflecting sailor's mind. 

They pitied that sweet maiden, all bereft, 

Alone on shipboard among strangers left. 

They spake of that young preacher, day by day 

How while the fever held its fatal course, 

He minister'd at the patient sufferer's side, 

Holding of faith and hope his high discourse ; 

And how, when all had join'd in humble prayer, 

She solemnly confided to his care, 

Till to her father's hands she could be given, 

Her child forlorn, — and blest him ere she died. 



I. FUNERAL AT SEA. 5 

They call'd to mind, how peaceful, how serene, 

Like one who seem'd already half in heaven, 

After that act she yielded up her breath ; 

And sure they wish'd their end like her's, I ween, 

And for a comforter like him in death. 



B 3 



OLIVER NEWMAN. II. 



II. 

THE VOYAGE. 

The maiden on her narrow bed 

To needful solitude hath fled ; 

He who perform'd the funeral prayer 

Leans o'er the vessel's head, and there 

Contemplating the sea and sky, 

He muses of eternity. 

The captain paces to and fro 

The deck with steady step and slow, 

And at his side a passenger, 

Conversing as they go. 

Their talk was of that maid forlorn, 

The mournful service of the morn, 

And the young man, whose voice of heartfelt faith 

Breathed hope and comfort o'er the bed of death. 

" Captain," quoth Randolph, " you have borne, 

Ere this, I ween, to Boston's shore, 

Saints by the dozen, and the score : 

But if he preach as he can pray, 

The Boston men will bless the day 

On which you brought this treasure o'er : 

A youth like him they well may call 

A son of thunder, or a second Paul." 



II. THE VOYAGE. 7 

Thereat the captain smiled, and said, 

" Oh hang the broad face and round head, 

Hard as iron, and heavy as lead ! 

I have whistled for a wind ere now, 

And thought it cheap to crack a sail, 

If it sent the canting breed below. 

Jonah was three days in the whale, 

But I have had fellows here, I trow, 

With lungs of brazen power, 
Who would not fail to preach a whale 

Dead sick in half an hour. 

One Sunday, when on the banks we lay, 

These Roundheads, think ye, what did they? 

Because, they said, 'twas the sabbath day, 

And hallowed by the Lord, 

They took the fish, which their servants caught, 

And threw them overboard. 

Newman is made of different clay ; 

He walks in his own quiet way : 

And yet beneath that sober mien 

Gleams of a spirit may be seen, 

Which show what temper lies supprest 

Within his meek and unambitious breast : 

He seemeth surely one of gentle seed, 

Whose sires for many an age were wont to lead 

In courts and councils, and in camps to bleed." 

Randolph replied, " He rules his tongue too well 
Ever of those from whom he sprung to tell : 

Whatever rank they once possessed 
In camps and councils, is, I ween, suppress'd 

B 4 



8 OLIVER NEWMAN. JI. 

In prudent silence. Little love that pair 

Could to the royal Martyr bear, 

Be sure, who named their offspring Oliver. 

You have mark'd that volume, over which he seems 

To pore and meditate, like one who dreams, 

Pondering upon the page with thought intense, 

That nought, which passes round him, can from 

thence 

His fix'd attention move : 

He carries it about his person still, 

Nor lays it from him for a moment's time. 

At my request, one day, with no good will, 

He lent it me : what, think ye, did it prove ? 

A rigmarole of verses without rhyme, 

About the apple, and the cause of sin, 

By the blind old traitor Milton ! and within, > 

Upon the cover, he had written thus, 

As if some saintly relic it had been, 

Which the fond owner gloried in possessing: 

' Given me by my most venerable friend, 

The author, with his blessing ! "' 

CAPTAIN. 

Sits the wind there ! 



RANDOLPH. 

Returning him the book, 
I told him I was sorry he could find 
None who deserved his veneration more 
Than one who, in the blackest deed of guilt 



n. THE VOYAGE. V 

That blots our annals, stands participant, 

A volunteer in that worst infamy, 

Stain'd to the core with blessed Charles his blood. 

Although by some capricious mercy spared, 

Strangely, as if bj miracle, he still 

Lived to disparage justice. 

CAPTAIN. 

And how brook'd he 
Your reprehension ? 

RANDOLPH. 

With his wonted air 
Of self-possession, and a mind subdued : 
And yet it moved him ; for, though looks and words 
By the strong mastery of his practised will 
Were overruled, the mounting blood betray'd 
An impulse in its secret spring too deep 
For his control. But taking up my speech, 
He answer'd with a simulated smile : 
" Sir, you say well \ by miracle indeed 
The life so fairly forfeited seems spared ; 
And it was worth the special care, of Heaven ; 
Else had the hangman and the insensate axe 
Cut off this toil divine." With that his eyes 
Flash'd, and a warmer feeling flush'd his cheek : 
" Time will bring down the pyramids," he cried, 
" Eldest of human works, and wear away 
The dreadful Alps, coeval with himself: 
But while yon sunt shall hold his place assigned, 
This ocean ebb and flow, and the round earth, 



10 OLIVER NEWMAN. II. 

Obedient to the Almighty Mover, fill 

Her silent revolutions, Milton's mind 

Shall dwell with us, an influence and a power ; 

And this great monument, which he hath built, 

Outliving empires, pyramids, and Alps, 

Endure, the lasting wonder of mankind." 



CAPTAIN. 

This is stark madness. 

RANDOLPH. 

Or stark poetry, 
Two things as near as Grub Street and Moorfields, 
But he came bravely off; for, softening soon 
To his habitual suavity, he said, 
Far was it from his thought to vindicate 
HI deeds of treason and of blood. The wise 
Had sometimes err'd, the virtuous gone astray : 
Too surely in ourselves we felt the seed 
" Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste 
Brought death into the world and all our woe :" 
His friend, like other men, had drawn a part 
Of that sad heritage ; he loved in him 
His wisdom and his virtue, not his faults. 

CAPTAIN. 

Well said, and manfully, like one who speaks 
The honest truth. 



II. THE VOYAGL. 11 

RANDOLPH. 

Why, so it sounds, and seems. 

CAPTAIN. 

And we must needs admit, lie hath not left 

His native country in that piggish mood 

Which neither will be led nor driven, but grunts 

And strives with stubborn neck and groundling snout, 

Struggling through mire and brake, to right and left, 

No matter where, so it can only take 

The way it should not go. One of that herd, 

Eather than read the service, would have seen 

The dead thrown overboard without a prayer. 

RANDOLPH. 

Yet he hath freaks and follies of opinion ; 
The bubbles of a yeasty mind, that works 
As it would crack its vessel. 

CAPTAIN. 

They are ever 
The sweetest nuts in which the maggot breeds. 

RANDOLPH. 

But, once fly-stricken, what avails their sweetness r 
Only to feed a pamper'd grub, that leaves 
Nothing but dirt and hollowness behind it. 
Tainted the young man is, and deeply too, 
I fear, by birth and breeding : I perceive it 



12 OLIVER NEWMAN. II. 

With sorrow, seeing on how fair a stock 
The unlucky graft is set. 



CAPTAIN. 

Why then, alas 
For that poor Annabel ! if she must have 
This farther cause to rue our baneful factions. 
The wretched strife already hath entail'd 
Upon her luckless family the loss 
Of fair possessions, friends, and native land ! 
And now a chance hath offered, which to her, 
I trow, might largely make amends for all : 
It would be hard indeed, when all things seem 
To square so well — youth, opportunity, 
Their fortunes one, the natural dower of each 
So equal, and so bountifully given, 
A dying mother's blessing to crown all — 
It would be hard indeed, should loyalty 
Forbid the banns. 

RANDOLPH. 

I know her father's temper, 
True as his own Toledo to the cause 
Wherein they both were tried. Nor will neglect, 
Ingratitude of courts, and banishment, 
(For a grant in the American wilderness 
Only calls exile by a fairer name,) 
Subdue his high- wrought virtue. Satisfied 
At last, by years of painful proof, 
That loyalty must find in its own proud sense 



II. THE VOYAGE. 13 

Its own reward, that pride he will bequeath 
His children as their best inheritance, 
A single heir-loom rescued from the wreck, 
And worth whate'er was lost. 

CAPTAIN. 

'Tis well the youth 
Thinks less of earth than heaven, and hath his heart 
More with the angels than on human love : 
But if such thoughts and hopes have enter'd it, 
As would some forty years ago have found 
Quick entrance, and warm welcome too, in mine, 
His ugly baptism may mar all, and make him 
Breathe maledictions on his godfathers, 
Though old Nol himself were one. 

RANDOLPH. 

Howbeit 't will win him 
Worship and friends in the city of the saints ; 
And, to the ears of sober Boston men, 
Oliver will be a name more savoury 
Than Tribulation, or Stand-fast-in -the-Lord, 
Increase or Nathan, Gershom, Ichabod, 
Praise -God, or any of the Barebones breed. 
They rise upon the oak-holyday with faces 
A full inch longer than they took to bed : 
Experienced nurses feed their babes that day 
With spoons, because the mother's milk is sour ; 
And when they mourn upon the Martyrdom, 
'Tis for the expiation, not the crime. 
Oh they love dearly one of the precious seed ! 



14 OLIVER NEWMAN. II. 

Tyburn, since Sixty, in their secret hearts 
Holds place of Calvary. For saints and martyrs, 
None like their own Hugh Peters, and the heads 
On the Hall your only relics ! Fifteen years 
They have hid among them the two regicides, 
Shifting from den to cover, as we found 
Where the scent lay. But earth them as they will, 
I shall unkennel them, and from their holes 
Drag them to light and justice. 

CAPTAIN. 

There hath been 
Much wholesome sickness thrown away, Sir Randolph 
On your strong stomach ! Two sea voyages 
Have not sufficed to clear the bile wherewith 
You left New England ! 

RANDOLPH. 

Nay, it rises in me 
As I draw near their shores. 



CAPTAIN. 

Why then, look shortly 
For a sharp fit ; for, if the sky tell true, 
Anon we shall have wind, and to our wish. 

So spake the Captain, for his eye, 
Versed in all signs and weathers, 
Discerned faint traces in the eastern sky, 
Such as a lion's paw might leave 



II. THE VOYAGE. 15 

Upon the desert, when the sands are dry. 

The dog-vane now blows out with its light feathers ; 

And lo ! the ship, which like a log hath lain, 

Heavily rolling on the long slow swell, 

Stirs with her proper impulse now, and gathers 

A power like life beneath the helmsman's will. 

Her head lies right ; the rising breeze 

Astern comes rippling o'er the seas ; 

A tramp of feet ! a sound of busy voices ! 

The cordage rattles, and the topsails fill ; 

All hands are active, every heart rejoices. 

Blest with fair seas, and favourable skies, 

Eight for her promised land 

The gallant vessel flies ; 

Far, far behind her now 

The foamy furrow lies ; 

Like dust around her prow 

The ocean spray is driven. 

thou fair creature of the human hand ! 

Thou, who wert palsied late, 

When the dead calm lay heavy on the deep, 

Again hast thou received the breath of heaven, 

And, waking from thy sleep, 
As strength again to those broad wings is given, 

Thou puttest forth thy beauty and thy state ! 

Hold on with happy winds thy prosperous way, 

And may no storm that goodly pride abate, 

Nor baffling airs thy destined course delay, 

Nor the sea-rover seize thee for his prey ; 

But minist'ring angels wait 



16 OLIVER NEWMAN. II. 

To watch for thee, against all ill event, 
From man, or from the reckless element. 

Thou hast a richer freight 
Than ever vessel bore from Ophir old, 

Or spicey India sent, 

Or Lisbon welcomed to her joyful quay 

From her Brazilian land of gems and gold : 

Thou carriest pious hope, and pure desires, 

Such as approving angels might behold ; 

A heart of finest mould, 

A spirit that aspires 

To heaven, and draws its flame from heavenly fires ; 

Genius, Devotion, Faith, 

Stronger than Time or Death, 

A temper of the high heroic mood, 

By that strong faith exalted, and subdued 

To a magnanimous fortitude. 

The blossom of all virtues dost thou bear, 

The seed of noble actions ! Go thy way 

Rejoicingly, from fear and evil free : 

These shall be thy defence, 

Beneath the all-present arm of Providence, 

Against all perils of the treacherous sea.

CAPE COD. 

Days pass, winds veer, and favouring skies 

Change like the face of fortune ; storms arise ; 

Safely, but not within her port desired, 

The good ship lies. 

Where the long sandy Cape 

Bends and embraces round, 

As with a lover's arm, the shelter'd sea, 

A haven she hath found 

From adverse gales and boisterous billows free. 

Now strike your sails, 

Ye toilworn mariners, and take your rest 

Long as the fierce north-west 

In that wild fit prevails, 

Tossing the waves uptorn with frantic sway. 

Keep ye within the bay, 

Contented to delay 

Your course till the elemental madness cease, 

And heaven and ocean are again at peace. 

How gladly there, 

Sick of the uncomfortable ocean, 

The impatient passengers approach the shore ; 

c 



18 OLIVER NEWMAN. III. 

Escaping from the sense of endless motion, 

To feel firm earth beneath their feet once more, 

To breathe again the air 

With taint of bilge and cordage undefiled, 

And drink of living springs, if there they may, 

And with fresh fruits and wholesome food repair 

Their spirits, weary of the watery way. 

And oh ! how beautiful 

The things of earth appear 

To eyes that far and near 

For many a week have seen 

Only the circle of the restless sea ! 

With what a fresh delight 

They gaze again on fields and forests green, 

Hovel, or whatsoe'er 

May bear the trace of man's industrious hand ; 

How grateful to their sight 

The shore of shelving sand, 

As the light boat moves joyfully to land ! 

Woods they beheld, and huts, and piles of wood, 

And many a trace of toil, 
But not green fields or pastures. 'Twas a land 

Of pines and sand ; 

Dark pines, that from the loose and sparkling soil 

Rose in their strength aspiring : far and wide 

They sent their searching roots on every side, 

And thus, by depth and long extension, found 

Firm hold and grasp within that treacherous ground : 

So had they risen and flourish'd ; till the earth, 

Unstable as its neighbouring ocean there, 



I 



III. CAPE COD. 19 

Like an unnatural mother, heap'd around 

Their trunks its wavy furrows white and high ; 

And stifled thus the living things it bore. 

Half buried thus they stand, 

Their summits sere and dry, 

Marking, like monuments, the funeral mound ; 

As when the masts of some tall vessel show 

i/Yhere, on the fatal shoals, the wreck lies whelm'd 

below. 

Such was the ungenial earth ; nor was the air 

Fresh and delightful there: 

A noisome taint upon the breath it bore ; 

For they who dwelt upon that sandy shore, 

Of meadows and of gardens took no care ; 

They sowed not, neither did they reap : 

The ocean was their field, their flocks and herds 

The myriad-moving armies of the deep ; 

The whale their mighty chase, whose bones bestrew'd 

The sandy margin of that ample bay, 

And all about, in many a loathly heap, 

The offal and the reeking refuse lay, 

Left there for dogs obscene and carrion birds a prey. 

Oliver, as they approach'd, said thoughtfully ; 

" It was within this bay 

That they, into the wilderness who bore 

The seeds of English faith and liberty, 

First set their feet upon the shore. 

Here they put in, escaping from the rage 

Of tempests, and by treacherous pilotage 

c 2 



20 OLIVER NEWMAN. HI. 

Led, as it seem'd to fallible men, astray : 

But God was with them ; and the Providence 

Which errs not, had design'd his people's way." 

"A blessed day for England had it been," 

Randolph exclaim'd, " had Providence thought good, 

If the whole stern round-headed brotherhood 

Had follow'd, man and woman, great and small ; 

New England might have prosper'd with the brood, 

Or seas and sharks been welcome to them all." 

" Alas, how many a broken family 

Hath felt that bitter wish ! " the youth replied ; 

And, as he spake, he breathed a silent sigh. 

" The wounded heart is prone to entertain 

Presumptuous thoughts and feelings, which arraign 

The appointed course of things. But what are we, 

Short-sighted creatures of an hour, 

That we should judge ? In part alone we see, 

And this but dimly. He, who ordereth all, 

Beholdeth all, at once, and to the end : 

Upon His wisdom and His power, 

His mercy and His boundless love, we rest ; 

And resting thus in humble faith, we know, 

Whether the present be for weal or woe, 

For us whatever is must needs be best." 

Thus, while he spake, the boat had reach'd the land ; 

And, grating gently, rested on the sand. 

They step ashore ; the dwellers gather nigh : 

" Whence comes the vessel ? whither is she bound ? " 

Then for Old England's welfare they inquire ; — 



in. CAPE COD. 21 

Eager alike for question and reply. 

With open lips and ears attending round; — 

What news of war, and plague, and plots, and fire ? 

Till satisfied of these, with cheerful care 

The board and bowl they hasten to prepare; 

Each active in his way, 

Glad of some lawful business, that may break 

The tedium of an idle Sabbath-day. 

But, from the stir of that loquacious crew, 

Oliver meantime apart from all withdrew. 

Beyond the bare and sapless pines, which stood 

Half-overwhelm'd with sand, 

He pass'd, and entering in the wood, 

Indulged his burthen'd heart in solitude. 

" Thou Earth ! receive me, from my native land 

An unoffending exile ! Hear my claim ! 
In search of wealth I have not sought thy shore, 

Nor covetous of fame, 

Nor treading in the ambitious steps of power ; 

But hiding from the world a hapless name, 

And sacrificing all 

At holiest duty's call, 

Thou barbarous Land, of thee I only crave — 

For those I love — concealment and a grave." 

Thus he relieved his breast ; yet did not dare 

Allow himself full utterance, even there : 

To part he gave a voice ; and then, in fear, 

Shaped with his lips, inaudibly, the rest : 

With that the very air 

Might not be trusted ; and he look'd around, 

c 3 



22 OLIVER NEWMAN. III. 

Alarm'd, lest human ear 

Had caught the unfinished sound. 

Some tears stole down his cheek, now not repress'd, 

And, kneeling on the earth, he kiss'd the ground. 

Unbidden thoughts then took their course, and drew 

The future and the past before his view : 

The haunts, the friendships, and the hopes of youth — 

AH, all forsaken; — no dear voice, 

Ever again to bid his heart rejoice ! 

Familiar scenes and faces 

Only in dreams should he behold again ; 

But, in their places, 

The wilderness, wild beasts, and savage men ! 

Soon from that poignant thought 

His soul upon the wings of hope took flight ; 

And strong imagination brought 

Visions of joy before his inward sight. 

Of regions yet by Englishmen unsought, 

And ancient woods, was that delightful dream, — 

The broad savannah, and the silver stream. 

Fair bowers were there, and gardens smiled, 

And harvests flourish'd in the wild ; 

And, while he made Redeeming Love his theme, — 

Savage no longer now — 

The Indians stood around, 

And drank salvation with the sound. 

One Christian grave was there, 

Turf 'd well, and weeded by his pious care, 

And redolent of many a fragrant flower 

And herb profusely planted all about. 



m. cape cod. 23 

Within his bower 

An old man sate, in patience and in peace, 

While the low sands of life ran out, 

Awaiting his release. 

That old man laid his hand upon his head, 

And blest him daily, when the day was done ; 

And Heaven was open to him, and he saw 

His mother's spirit smile, and bless her son. 

Thus to the voluntary dream resign'd 

He lay, while blended sounds of air and sea 

Lull'd his unconscious mind 

With their wild symphony. 

The wind was in the pines, awakening there 

A sea-like sound continuous, and a swell 

At fitful intervals, that mingled well 

With ocean's louder roar, 

When the long curling waves, 

Reach after reach in regular rising, fell 

Upon the sandy shore. 

Long might he there have lain, but that, in tones 

Which seem'd of haste to tell, 

Once, twice, and thrice pronounced he heard his name : 

Too sweetly to his ears the accents came, 

Breathed from the gentle lips of Annabel. 

With hurried pace she comes, and flush'd in face, 

And with a look, half-pity, half-affright, 

Which, while she spake, enlarged her timid eyes : 

" O, sir ! I have seen a piteous sight !" 

The shuddering maiden cries ; 

" A poor wild woman. Woe is me ! among 

c 4 



24 OLIVER NEWMAN. III. 

What worse than heathen people are we thrown ? 

Beasts, in our England, are not treated thus, — 

Our very stones would rise 

Against such cruelties ! 

But you, perhaps, can reach the stony heart, — 

Oh come, then, and perform your Christian part. * 

She led him hastily toward a shed, 

Where, fetter' d to the door-post, on the ground 

An Indian woman sate. Her hands were bound, 

Her shoulders and her back were waled and scored 

With recent stripes. A boy stood by, 

Some seven years old, who with a piteous eye 

Beheld his suffering mother, and deplored 

Her injuries with a cry, 

Deep, but not loud, — an utterance that express'd 

The mingled feelings swelling in his breast, — 

Instinctive love intense, the burning sense 

Of wrong, intolerable grief of heart, 
And rage, to think his arm could not fulfil 
The pious vengeance of his passionate will. 

His sister by the door 
Lay basking in the sun : too young was she 

To feel the burthen of their misery ; 

Reckless of all that pass'd, her little hand 

Play'd idly with the soft and glittering sand. 

At this abhorred sight, 

Had there been place for aught 

But pity, half-relieved by indignation, 

They would have seen that Indian woman's face 

Not with surprise alone, but admiration : 



Ill CAPE COD. 25 

With such severe composure, such an air 
Of stern endurance, did she bear 

Her lot of absolute despair. 

You rather might have deem'd, 

So fix'd and hard the strong bronze features seem'd, 

That they were of some molten statue part, 

Than the live sentient index of a heart 

Suffering and struggling with extremest wrong : 

But that the coarse jet hair upon her back 

Hung loose, and lank, and long, 

And that sometimes she moved her large black eye, 

And look'd upon the boy who there stood weeping by. 

Oliver in vain attempted to assuage, 

With gentle tones and looks compassionate, 

The bitterness of that young Indian's rage. 

The boy drew back abhorrent from his hand, 

Eyed him with fierce disdain, and breathed 

In inarticulate sounds his deadly hate. 

Not so the mother ; she could understand 

His thoughtful pity, and the tears which fell 

Copiously down the cheeks of Annabel. 

Touch'd by that unaccustom'd sympathy 

Her countenance relax'd : she moved her head 

As if to thank them both ; 

Then frowning, as she raised her mournful eye,— 

" Bad Christian-man ! bad English-man !" she said : 

And Oliver a sudden sense of shame 

Felt for the English and the Christian name.

I pray you, sir, who owns the Indian woman 
That is chain'd in yonder hut ?

What you have seen them, 
The she-wolf and her whelps ? 

OLIVER. 

She hath indeed 
A strange wild aspect, and the boy appears 
Of a fierce nature. I should think her owner 
Would find her an unprofitable slave. 

cape's-man. 

Why, sir, you reckon rightly ; and, methinks, 
Without a conjuror's skill you well may think so : 
Those fetters, and the marks upon her skin, 
Speak her deserts. On week-days with the whip 
We keep her tightly to her work ; but thus 
Her Sabbath must be spent, or she would put

The wilderness between her and her owner. 
An honest dealer never paid good money 
For a worse piece : and for that boy of hers, 
He is a true-bred savage, blood and bone, 
To the marrow and heart's core. 

RANDOLPH. 

I warrant him ! 
No mother like your squaw to train a child 
In the way she would have him go ; she makes him 

subtler 
Than the sly snake, untameable as bear 
Or buffalo, fierce as a famish'd wolf, 
And crueller than French judges, Spanish friars, 
Or Dutchmen in the East. His earliest plaything 
Is a green scalp, and then, for lollipop, 
The toasted finger of an Englishman ! 
Young as he is, I dare be sworn he knows 
Where is the liveliest part to stick a skewer 
Into a prisoner's flesh, and where to scoop 
The tenderest mouthful. If the Devil himself 
Would learn devices to afflict the damn'd 
With sharper torments, he might go to school 
To a New England savage. 

cape's-man. 

I perceive, sir, 
You know them well. Perhaps you may have heard 
Of this young deviling's father ; — he was noted 
For a most bloody savage in his day : 
They called him Kawnacom.

RANDOLPH. 



What! Kawnacom, 
The Narhaganset Sagamore ? 

cape's-man. 

The same; 
A sort of captain, or of prince, among them. 

RANDOLPH. 

A most notorious villain ! But I left him 
At peace with the English ? 

cape's-man. 

And you find him so, — 
Under the only bail he would not break ; 
A bullet through the heart is surety for him. 
You have not learnt, I guess, what dreadful work 
There is in the back country ? — Families 
Burnt in their houses ; stragglers tomahawk'd 
And scalp'd, or dragg'd away that they may die 
By piecemeal murder, to make mockery 
For these incarnate devils at the stake. 
Farms are forsaken ; towns are insecure ; 
Men sleep with one eye open, and the gun 
By their bed-side. And, what is worst, they know 

not 
How far the league extends, nor whom to trust 
Among these treacherous tribes. Old people say 
That things were not so bad in the Pequod war. 



IV. THE CAPTIVES RANSOMED. 29 

RANDOLPH. 

What then, have we been idle ? 

cape's-man. 

Hitherto 
But little has been done. The evil found us 
Lapp'd in security, and unprepared : 
Nor know we where to strike, nor whom, so darkly 
The mischief hath been laid. 

RANDOLPH. 

Strike where we will, 
So we strike hard, we cannot err. The blow 
That rids us of an Indian does good service. 

OLIVER. 

That were a better service which should win 
The savage to your friendship. 

cape's-man. 

You are young, sir, 
And, I perceive, a stranger in the land; 
Or you would know how bootless is the attempt 
To tame and civilise these enemies, 
Man-beasts, or man-fiends, — call them which you 

will, — 
Their monstrous nature being half brute, half devil, 
Nothing about them human but their form. 



30 OLIVER NEWMAN. IV. 

He, who expends his kindness on a savage 
Thinking to win his friendship, might as wisely 
Plant thorns and hope to gather grapes at vintage. 

OLIVER. 

Look but to Martha's vineyard, and behold 

On your own shores the impossibility 

Achieved — the standing miracle display'd 

In public view, apparent to all eyes, 

And famous through all countries wheresoe'er 

The Gospel truth is known ! Many are the hearts 

In distant England which have overflow'd 

With pious joy to read of Hiacoomes, 

Whose prayerful house the pestilence past by ; 

And blind Wawompek, — he, within whose doors 

The glad thanksgiving strain of choral praise 

Fails not, at morn and eve, from year to year ; 

And the Sachem, who rejoiced because the time 

Of light was come, and now his countrymen, 

Erring and lost, no longer should go down 

In ignorance and darkness to the grave ; 

And poor old Lazarus, that rich poor man, 

The child of poverty, but rich in faith 

And his assured inheritance in heaven. 

RANDOLPH. 

Young sir, it is with stories as with men ; 
That credit oftentimes they gain abroad, 
Which, either for misluck or misdesert, 
They fail to find at home.

OLIVER. 

Are these things false, then ? 
Is there no truth in Mayhew's life of love ? 
Hath not the impatient Welshman's zeal, that blazed 
Even like a burning and consuming fire, 
Refined itself into a steady light 
Among the Indians ? — and the name of Williams, 
The signal once for strife where'er he went, 
Become a passport and a word of peace 
Through savage nations ? Or is this a tale 
Set forth to mock our weak credulity ; 
And all that holy Eliot hath perform'd 
Only a fable cunningly devised ? 

cape's-man. 

He comes out qualified to lecture us 
Upon our own affairs ! 

RANDOLPH. 

The things you talk of 
Serve but with us to comfort our old women, 
Furnish an elder with some choice discourse 
For a dull synod, and sometimes help out 
Sir Spintext at a pinch, when he would think it 
A sin did he dismiss his hungry flock 
Before the second glass be fairly spent. 
Much have you read, and have believed as largely ; 
And yet one week's abode in the colony 
Will teach you more than all your English reading. 



32 OLIVER NEWMAK. IV. 



OLIVER. 

Sir, I am easy of belief, for that way 
My temper leads me, — liable to err ; 
And yet, I hope, not obstinate in error ; 
But ready still to thank the riper judgment 
That may correct my inexperienced years. 
You paint the Indians to the life, I doubt not : 
Children of sin, and therefore heirs of wrath, 
The likeness of their Heavenly Sire in them 
Seems utterly defaced ; and in its stead, 
Almost, it might be thought, the Evil Power 
Had set his stamp and image. This should move us 
The more to deep compassion ; men ourselves, 
In whom the accident of birth alone 
Makes all this awful difference ! And remem- 
bering, 
That from our common parent we derive 
Our nature's common malady innate, 
For which our common Saviour offers us 
The only cure, — oh ! ought we not to feel 
How good and merciful a deed it were 
To bring these poor lost sheep within his fold ! 

RANDOLPH. 

Sheep call you them, forsooth ! When you can 

gather 
Bears, wolves, and tigers in a fold, hope then 
To tame such sheep as these. 



IV. THE CAPTIVES RANSOMED. 33 

OLIVER. 

What is there, sir, 
That may not by assiduous care be won 
To do our will ? Give me a lion's cub, 
Torn from the teat, and I will so train up 
The noble beast, that he shall fondle me, 
And lay his placid head upon my knees, 
And lick my hand, and couch my bed-side, 
And guard me with a dog's fidelity. 

RANDOLPH, 

Behold a litter ready to your wish ! 

Our friend, if I mistake not, will afford 

An easy purchase, dam and cubs. What say you, 

My lion-tamer ? 

cape's-man. 

You shall have them cheap, sir ! 
A bargain that may tempt you ; come, for half 
That they would fetch in the Barbadoes market. 
I meant to ship them thither, but would rather 
Sell at a loss than keep that woman longer. 

Thus had the jeer grown serious, and it drew 

Into the young man's cheek a deeper hue. 

Moments there are in life, — alas, how few ! — 

When, casting cold prudential doubts aside, 

We take a generous impulse for our guide, 

And, following promptly what the heart thinks best, 

Commit to Providence the rest, 

D 



34 OLIVER NEWMAN. IT. 

Sure that no after-reckoning will arise, 

Of shame, or sorrow, for the heart is wise. 

And happy they who thus in faith obey 

Their better nature : err sometimes they may, 

And some sad thoughts lie heavy in the breast, 

Such as by hope deceived are left behind ; 

But, like a shadow, these will pass away 

From the pure sunshine of the peaceful mind. 

Thus feeling, Oliver obey'd 

His uncorrupted heart ; nor paused, nor weigh'd 

What hindrance, what displeasure might ensue ; 

But from his little store of worldly wealth, 

Poor as it was, the ready ransom drew. 

Half-earnest, half-sarcastic, Randolph now 

Sought him from that rash purpose to dissuade ; 

While the hard Cape's -man, nothing nice, 

Counted the money, glad to get his price.

THE PORTRAIT. 

At length the adverse gales have ceased ; 

The breath of morn is from the east, 

Where, burnishing with gold the restless sea, 

Uprose the sun in radiant majesty. 

Unfelt that breath upon the seas, 

Unheard amid the silent trees. 

It breathes so quietly : 

Yet have the seamen, on their way intent, 

Perceived the auspicious sign. The sails are bent. 

The anchor raised ; the swelling canvas now 

Fills with the fresh'ning breeze ; the Cape recedes, 

Its sandhills and its pines 

In distance fade away. 

Steady she holds her course ; and still the day 

Is young, when lo ! the haven is in sight ; 

And ere from his meridian height the sun 

Declines, within that haven's gentle breast, 

From the long labours of her weary way, 

The vessel comes to rest. 

Scatter'd within the peaceful bay 

Many a fair isle and islet lay, 

And rocks and banks which threaten'd there 

D 2 



36 OLIVER NEWMAN. 

No peril to the mariner. 
The shores which bent around were gay 
With maizals, and with pastures green, 
And rails and hedge-row trees between, 

And fields for harvest white, 

And dwellings sprinkled up and down ; 

And round about the cluster'd town, 

Which rose in sunshine bright, 

Was many a shelter'd garden spot, 

And many a sunny orchard plot, 

And bowers which might invite 

The studious man to take his seat 

Within their quiet, cool retreat, 

When noon was at its height. 

No heart that was at ease, I ween, 

Could gaze on that surrounding scene 

Without a calm delight. 

Behold upon the quay a press 

Of business and of idleness, 

Where these new-comers land. 

Kinsfolk with anxious questions meet ; 

And friends and light acquaintance greet 

With jocund shake of hand : 

The idlers ask the crew of what 

Upon their way befell ; 

And all, and more than all they know, 

The wondering sailors tell. 

From tongue to tongue the tidings ran ; 

The lady's death, — the strange young man ; 

His moody ways, his gift of prayer, 

The maid committed to his care, 



V. THE PORTRAIT. 37 

His destined bride they nothing doubting deem'd ; 

And how, by sudden fit of pity moved, 

From slavery he redeem'd 

The children and the wife of Kawnacom, 

(An act that all admired, but none approved,) 

And to their savage tribe, they fear'd, 

Reckless of counsel, would conduct them home. 

All marvell'd at the tale ; the many jeer'd : 

" Mad as the Quakers ! " some exclaim'd ; and some 

Pray'd that his rash and unenlighten'd will 

Might cause no after-troubles in a state 

Pester'd with errors and new fancies still. 

Some shook their heads ; the more compassionate 

Observed, that where so kind a heart was found, 

Pity it was the wits should not be sound. 

" It is a madness which the world will cure," 
Leverett, the Governor, said, "too soon, be sure." 
Randolph had risen to leave him, when the youth 
Enter'd the Governor's door. " Come, let me play," 
Quoth he, " the usher ! " in his wonted way, 
Mingling with sportive speech sarcastic truth. 
" Your Excellency here beholds the Man ! 
The Quaker-Church of England-Puritan, 
Knight-errant, preacher, and we know not what, 
So many things he is, and he is not ; 
A hero, certes, if he would but fight; 
A Solomon, if his notions were but right. 
Should he into a lion's den be thrown, — 
Look at those arms and eyes, and you might swear 
That he would act the London 'Prentice there ; 
But trusting to the mind, forsooth, alone 

D 3 



38 OLIVER NEWMAN. V. 

He'd take the cubs, like lambkins, to his breast, 

And, Daniel-like, by faith subdue the rest. 

Then for the harder task of savage-quelling 

He hath a talent which exceeds all telling. 

Two full-bred devilings he has taught to greet him, 

And kiss as lovingly as they would eat him ; 

And he hath bought their mother squaw, to teach 

That pleasant lingo the six-nation speech ; 

Words, which would choke a Dutchman or a Jew, 

Dumbfound old Nick, and which from me or you 

Could not be forced by ipecacuanha, 

Drop from his oratoric lips like manna. 

So fine withal his temper proves, that it 

Hath borne unhurt the file of my rough wit ; 

This to his honour I am bound to tell ; 

Would that he took true counsel half as well ! 

And now, sir, as your favour may befriend him, 

To that in right good earnest I commend him ! " 

" A man of caustic speech ! " the Governor said, 

Following him with his eye, as forth he went : 

" Yet hath this humour no unkind intent ; 

His commendation, sir, shall have its weight, 

The rest we take as it is meant." 

The youth 
To that urbane accoil, with grateful eye, 
And gentle motion of the bending head, 

Return'd a mute reply. 
There was a troubled meaning in his look, 
And o'er his brow an ashy paleness spread, 

As forth he took 
A little casket, and, with trembling hand 



V. THE PORTRAIT. 39 

Presenting it to Leverett, said : 

" Thus I discharge my mother's last command ; 

On her death-bed she told me I should need 

No other friend with you in my behalf to plead." 

The Governor's countenance changed, as he re- 
ceived 
That message from the dead ; 
And when he open'd and contemplated 
The sad bequest, 
Tears fill'd his eyes, which could not be represt. 

It was a woman's picture, in her youth 

And bloom portray 'd, by Cooper's perfect skill. 

The eyes, which death had quench'd, 

Kept there their life and living lustre still ; 

The auburn locks, which sorrow's withering hand, 

Forestalling time, had changed to early grey, 

Disparting from the ivory forehead, fell 

In ringlets which might tempt the breath of May ; 

The lips, now cold as clay, 

Seem'd to breathe warmth and vernal fragrance 

there; 

The cheeks were in their maiden freshness fair. 

Thus had the limner's art divine preserved 

A beauty which from earth had pass'd away ; 

And it had caught the mind which gave that face 

Its surest charm, its own peculiar grace. 

A modest mien, 

A meek, submissive gentleness serene, 

A heart on duty stay'd, 

Simple, sincere, affectionate, sedate, 

Were in that virgin countenance portrayed : 

D 4 



40 OLIVER NEWMAN. V. 

She was an angel now ; and yet, 

More beautiful than this fair counterfeit, 

Even in heaven, her spirit scarce could be, 

Nor seem from stain of ill, and evil thoughts, more 

free. 

Time was, when Leverett had worn 

That picture like a relic in his breast ; 

And duly, morn and night, 

With Love's idolatry 

Fix'd on its beauties his adoring sight, 

And to his lips the precious crystal prest. 

Time was, when, in the visions of his rest, 

That image of delight 

Came with sweet smiles, and musical voice, to 

bless 

His sleep, and all his dreams were happiness. 

And still, though course of time, and fatal force 

Of circumstance, grave thoughts, and worldly cares 

(Ah ! how unlike the blissful hopes of youth, 

From which it had been worse than death to part!) 

Had fortified as well as heal'd his heart, 

That vision, in her beauty and her truth, 

Sometimes would visit him; and he, 

With a confused but conscious faculty, 

Knowing full well 

That this, which seem'd, too surely could not be, 

Struggled against the spell. 

Unchanged and unimpair'd by thirty years, 

Her image came, but only to distress 

The heart she wont to bless, 

Till from the painful unreality 

He woke, disturb'd in spirit, and in tears. 



V. THE PORTRAIT. 41 

But he was master of his waking soul, 

And could control 

All unbecoming passion, and all feeling 

That needs repressing or concealing. 

Howbeit he sought not to restrain 

His deep emotion now, nor turn'd aside 

His natural tears to hide, which freely fell ; 

But wiping them away a moment, eyed 

Oliver's pale countenance and anxious brow, 

Perusing there his mother's lineaments : 

Then took his hand, and said, " Thou need'st not 

tell 

Thy hapless name and perilous secret now, 

I know them but too well."

FUTURE PROSPECTS. 

LEVERETT. 

Why hast thou ventured hither ? With what hope 

Or end hath natural piety betray'd thee 

To this forlorn attempt ? If to escape 

Had offer'd chance enough to tempt despair, 

The desperate effort had ere this been tried. 

Besure, it hath been meditated oft, 

And bravely ; and, had life been all the stake, 

Life had been cheaply set upon the die, 

To lose it being gain. 

OLIVER. 

They must forego, 
The dear desire of e'er revisiting 
Their native land, — and in my mother's grave 
That hope, I ween, will now be laid at rest : 
Nor could they safely seek a resting-place 
In Europe, even if we reach'd a ship, 
And left these shores behind us. Oft and well 
Have I perpended this, devising ways 
For flight, and schemes of plausible disguise, 
Such thoughts in disappointment ending alway ; 
Till having offer'd up in fervent faith 
A disciplined and humbled heart to Heaven, 



VI. FUTURE PROSPECTS. 43 

A better hope arose. The wilderness 

Is open to us ! Thither will we go, 

Far in the wilds, where foot of Englishman 

Hath never trod. The equal elements 

Will not deny our portion : Mother Earth 

In unappropriated freedom, there 

Holds forth her liberal lap ; her springs, her fruits, 

Her creatures of the land and air and stream, 

To her free children freely offering. 

Hid from the world, a double duty there 

May I perform, to God and man discharged, 

Serving my human and my Heavenly Sire ; 

There, treading in your saintly Eliot's path, 

Guide the poor Indian in the way to Heaven ! 

And, in the foretaste of its joys assured, 

Receive mine own exceeding great reward. 

LEVERETT. 

Oh pitiable lot 

Of poor humanity, 
When virtue thus can wrong the heroic heart, 
And blind the noble intellect ! Thou dreamest 
Of peopling some Arcadian solitude 
With human angels, — ignorant, alas ! 
Of time, place, circumstance, and men, and things, — 
The Indians, and thy father, and thyself! 

OLIVER. 

Myself at least I know, prepared to act 
Or suffer, with a soul for all events 
Resign'd. 



44 OLIVER NEWMAN. VI. 



LEVERETT. 

To suffer, rightly thou may'st say; 
Easily we screw our courage to that point, 
The issue being remote, and hope and chance 

Between us and the event. 
But how prepared to act ? Ere thou couldst hold 
With these Red tribes the commonest discourse 
Of needful things and every-day concerns, 
Years of laborious pupilage must pass, 
Unless the cloven flame upon thy head 
Should light, and loose thy speech by miracle. 
But wherefore with the show of difficulties 
Should I dissuade thee from an enterprise 
Impossible to attempt ? 

OLIVER. 

A Poet, sir, 
In whose dark sayings deeper wisdom lies 
Than ancient oracles enounced, or statesmen 
Appear to reach in these ignoble times, 
Hath taught me to believe, " impossible 
Is but the faith of fear." 



LEVERETT. 

Are poets, then, 
Thy teachers ? O, young man, their flattering lore 
But ill prepares the spirit for the uses 
Of ordinary life ! 



VI. FUTURE PROSPECTS. 45 

OLIVER. 

They best prepare it, 
Who warn the heart against its own illusions ; 
And, strengthening it with patient hope and faith, 
Arm it against all issues. To such teachers 
My inexperienced youth by Providence 
Was mercifully led. Penn hath allow'd me 
To call him friend, in no sectarian use 
Of words ; and I have sate at Milton's feet 
A reverential listener. 

LEVERETT. 

Milton's friendship 
Will neither hurt nor help thee in a land, 
Where they, who stiffliest hold his errors, lift not 
Their thoughts above the earth to follow him, 
When his strong spirit mounts upon the wing, 
Beyond their grovelling vision. But well is it 
Thou hast not from Penn's dangerous fellowship 
Learnt his sectarian speech, and other follies 
Wherewith that formal informality 
Provokes the law. New England writes her statutes 
In blood against the Quakers. Thou hast 'scaped 
Their clownish and uncivil usages ; 
But if there be an inner taint, take heed 
To keep it hidden : openly I must not 
Allow the violation of our laws. 

OLIVER. 

Oh we have trespass'd largely on your goodness ; 
Generous beyond example, as thou art, 



46 OLIVER NEWMAN. VI. 

Too largely have we tax'd it ; and the cause, 

The dreadful cause alone, can palliate 

Conduct like ours towards thee. Not for worlds 

Would I do aught that might displeasure thee, 

Best earthly friend ! whom my dear mother never 

Named without tears, and holiest gratitude, 

Such as will surely bring upon thy head 

The blessing that it pray'd for. I come here, 

Not wilfully and madly to provoke 

Intolerant laws, nor farther to presume 

Upon thy noble nature ; but to thank thee, 

In her dear name, for all which thou hast done ; 

To tell thee, as she charged me, that in death 

She bless'd thee for thy goodness ; and, performing 

Her latest wish and will, to take the burthen 

Of our unhappy fortunes on myself. 

LEVERETT. 

Her latest wish and will ! 

OLIVER. 

It was a thought 
Which added to her griefs, that you should stand 
In jeopardy for us; howbeit, she said, 
She hoped and felt and trusted that you knew 
Her inmost mind, and Heaven would recompense 
A true affection, too severely tried. 

LEVERETT. 

Thus it was ever with her gentle heart, 
By some strange fortune fated still to prove 



VI. FUTURE PROSPECTS. 47 

That in her strength alone the root 
Of her sole weakness lay. 
Poor heart ! a victim always at the call 
Of fancied duty ; only then unjust. 
Only then obstinate, when offering up 
Itself a bleeding sacrifice ! I know, 
And understand, in what devoted mood 
Her acquiescence to thy dreams was given 
Such as aspiring saints desire, and martyrs 
Keach in their triumph, when they clasp the stake. 

OLIVER. 

'Twas in no height of feverish exaltation, 

In no delusion of the heated mind, 

That her consent was given : but mutually 

Our hearts received, as I believe, from Heaven 

The impulse. By the test of prayer we tried, 

And in the balance of the sanctuary 

Weighed it ; and having taken our resolve, 

Partook that inward peace, wherewith the Spirit 

Doth set the seal to its authentic acts. 

Shake not thy head thus mournfully, nor thus 

In disapproval knit the incredulous brow ! 

The purpose, which at first was entertain'd 

With doubtfulness and fear, increased in strength, 

While long infirmity and wasting pain 

Consumed her mortal mould ; and at that hour, 

When it is no illusion to believe 

That the departing soul hath sight of heaven 

Opening before its happy flight, and feels 

The expansion of diviner faculties 



48 OLIVER NEWMAN. VI. 

Than this gross earth unfolds, her looks and tokens 
Confirm'd the injunction of her latest voice, 
And bless'd, and for obedience strengthen'd me, 
Betide what may. 

LEVERETT. 

For me, then, it remains 
Only to show what obstacles impede 
The perilous course from which I must not farther 
Essay to turn thee. Thou, who art not less 
In mind than lineaments thy mother's image, 
Judge for thyself if they be superable. 
Thy grandsire lives, indeed, — if it be life, 
When the poor flesh, surviving, doth entomb 
The reasonable soul defunct. Below 
The reach of grief and danger he hath sunk. 
The tale of his dear daughter's death to him 
Will be like baptism to a chrysome babe, 
Something that means he knows and recks not 

what. 
Safely in court might he hold up the hand, 
Now trembling and unconscious, which subscribed 
The fatal warrant : even the sword of law 
Would, in his pitiable estate, acknowledge 
The visitation of a higher Power, 
And turn away its edge. But as thou canst not, 
Encumber'd with a twichild man, pursue 
Thy purpose, it must of necessity 
Be laid aside, at least till death remove 
The impediment, not else removeable. 



' 



VI. FUTURE PROSPECTS. 49 

OLIVER. 

So be it. We must patiently await 

The hour of his release. With time and death 

Sure reckoning may be made. 

LEVERETT. 

That hour in truth 
Cannot be long delay'd. But what shall make 
Thy father to thy dreams defer his own ? 
If in his corporal uses man becomes 
The slave of habit, stronger are the chains 
In which the mind is bound, a willing thrall. 

OLIVER. 

I understand you not ! 

LEVERETT. 

You do not know 
Your father. 

OLIVER. 

Only by report, alas ! 
As England in his years of fortune knew him ; 
Religious, faithful, excellently skill'd 
In war, and in his single person brave 
To all men's admiration. 

LEVERETT. 

Yet I think 
Enthusiast as thou art, thou needest not 

E 



i 



50 OLIVER NEWMAN. VI. 

Learn with how much alloy the richest vein 

Of virtues is too often found combined. 

"Tis the condition of humanity, 

Frail and infirm at best ; and they who boast 

Sinless perfection for their privilege, 

By the proud folly of the claim, confute 

Their own insane pretension. 

OLIVER. 

Surely, sir, 
My father had not in the school of Christ 
So poorly profited, nor lived so long 
A stranger to himself and his own heart, 
That he should hold this error. 

LEVERETT. 

Glad I am 
Thou seest it erroneous. Other notions 
He holds too near akin to it, the breed 
Of those pestiferous and portentous times 
Wherein his lot had fallen. Even yet he thinks 
The kingdom of the saints shall be in strength 
Establish'd ; finds in whatsoe'er occurs 
The accomplishment of some dark prophecy ; 
Interprets, and expounds, and calculates 
That soon he shall be call'd to bear his part 
In setting up again the broken work 
Left incomplete by chosen Oliver. 
Thus he in one continuous dream of hope 
Beguiles the tedious years. 



! 



VI. FUTURE PROSPECTS. 51 

OLIVER. 

Herein I see not 
What should impede my purpose. In the forest, 
The sense of freedom and security, 
Healing a wounded spirit, may restore 
To health his mind diseased. 

LEVERETT. 

But if the patient 
Reject the means of cure? He will not leave 
A place of refuge which the Lord prepared 
For him in his distress ; and where full surely 
He trusts the call will reach him, to come forth 
And fight the battles of the good old cause, 
For which he doth endure contentedly 
This living martyrdom. Thy father thus 
Would answer thee ; the malady is rooted 
In him so deeply now. It is become 
Essential in his being : long success, 
Beyond the most audacious of his thoughts, 
Fed and inflamed it first ; long suffering since 
Hath as it were annealed it in his soul 
With stubborn fortitude, bewilder'd faith, 
Love, hatred, indignation, all strong passions, 
The bitterest feelings, and the tenderest thoughts, 
Yea, all his earthly, all his heavenly hopes. 
And Russel — for such sympathy alone 
Could influence him to harbour long such guests — 
Fosters the old delusion which he shares, 
And ministers to it, even in his prayers. 

e 2 



52 



OLIVER NEWMAN. ^ 



OLIVER. 

My father will not be persuaded then, 
You think? 

LEVERETT. 

I know he will not. There are minds, 
The course of which, as of some slow disease, 
Known by its fatal frequency too well, 
We see with helpless foresight, hopelessly. 
But, if he listen'd to thy moving words, 
What would it now avail ? The wilderness 
Affords no shelter while the Indians, 
Fiercer than beasts, and wilier, are in arms. 

OLIVER. 

I have a passport for the wilderness 
Safer than statesmen could accord, or states 
Enforce with all their strength. The Indian woman, 
Of whom Sir Randolph in his mockery told thee : 
She and her children will be my protection 
Among the wildest tribes. 

LEVERETT. 

And was this thought, then, 
Thy motive for the act ? 

OLIVER. 

I will not say 
It had so much of forethought : but the ways 
Of Providence open before me now. 



VI. FUTURE PROSPECTS. 53 

The impulse, which appear'd like foolishness 
To worldly censure, and which tremblingly 
I follow'd, for this issue was design'd : 
Oh doubt it not ! And had I disobey'd 
The inward and unerring monitor 
That hour, infirm of faith, how had I then 
Disherited myself of this fair hope ! 

LEVERETT. 

A Narhaganset woman, is she not ? 
The widow of a Sagamore, who fell 
In the outbreak of these troubles ? 

OLIVER. 

So they told me ; 
A noted savage, Kawnacom his name. 

LEVERETT. 

Something, methinks, I see in this, wherein 
Our purposes may square, and my straight path 
Of policy with thy eccentric course 
Fall in and meet at the end. But, understand me, 
Rather would I for thine own sake dissuade thee, 
And for the sake of that dear Saint in heaven, 
From an adventure of remotest hope 
And imminent peril : but if thy resolve 
Be obstinate against all reason, blameless 
Then may I, both in her sight and in thine, 
Betide the issue how it will, promote 
The purpose which in vain I disapprove. 
One trust we have ; all-able Providence 
E 3 



54 OLIVER NEWMAN. VI. 

Will overrule our ways, and haply too, 
Knowing the upright intention, rectify 
Our erring judgments. Let the matter sleep 
Till I have taken counsel with my pillow 
And this night's waking thoughts. See me to- 
morrow 
As early as you will, before the stir 
Of business hath begun : and now farewell. 



55 



vn. 

THE INDIAN WAR. 

With many an anxious thought opprest, 

From busy sleep more wearying than unrest, 

Hath Oliver arisen ; 

And from his bed of feverish care, 

Glad to respire the cool fresh morning air, 

Gone forth as from a prison. 

The wakeful Governor received his guest ; 

And ere the morning board was placed, 

They to and fro the garden paced 

In earnest talk, while Leverett told 

How mutual injuries of old, 

And mutual fears, the envenom'd will, 

Suspicions still conceal'd but festering still, 

And policy that shrunk from nothing ill, 

(Savage or civilised — oh shame 

To man's perverted power ! — in this the same,) 

Youth's fiery courage, and eld's rooted hate, 

Had brought the danger on, which now assail'd the 

state. 

The times were fearful; wheresoe'er around 

Among the Indian tribes he turn'd his view, 

False friends, or open enemies, were found. 

How wide their league he rather fear'd than knew. 

e 4 



56 OLIVER NEWMAN. VII. 

But this was understood, 
That feuds deliver 'd down for many an age, 

From sire to son in sacred heritage, 

Wherewith their very nature seem'd imbued, 

Had been with dread solemnities foresworn 

And secret rites accurst, in fell intent 

That they should root the English from the land, 

And the last white man's blood 

Be of their bond the seal and sacrament. 

In truth they were a formidable foe ; 

Compared with ours, their numbers made them so ; 

Crafty, deceitful, murderous, merciless : 

Yet with heroic qualities endued : 

Contempt of death, surpassing fortitude, 

Patience through all privations, self-control 

Even such as saints and sages scarce attain, 

And a sustain'd serenity of soul, 

Which Fortune might assault or tempt in vain, 

Not to be moved by pleasure or by pain. 

OLIVER. 

Alas to think they have not long ere this 
Been link'd with you in Christian fellowship ! 

LEVERETT. 

Look at divided Christendom ! — at England ; 
Her wounds, inflicted by sectarian rage, 
Open and festering, — never to be heal'd I 
Look at thy father's house ; a threefold cord 
Of brotherhood trebly disparted there ; 



VII. THE INDIAN WAR. 57 

Then tell me, where may Christian fellowship 

In this wide world be found ? Alas, my friend, 

I see it only in the Promised Land. 

From Pisgah's summit, through the glass of Faith, 

Far in the regions of futurity. 

Yet something we have done, which — though I 

own it 
Far short of what true policy requires, 
And in the scale of national duty weighing 
Lighter than dust — may show we are not wholly 
The slaves of Mammon. Fretted as we have been 
By schisms, by rampant heresies disturbed, 
And by that spiritual pride possess'd, whose touch, 
With influence lethal as an aspic's tooth, 
Numbs the life-blood of charity, this England 
Hath sons, whose names, if there be any praise, 
Shall have their place with saints of primitive 

times 
Enroll'd, true heroes of humanity. 

OLIVER. 

Oh doubt not that their virtue and their prayers 
Will in this time of trial speed you more 
Than all your carnal strength ! 

LEVERETT. 

That faith might better 
Beseem thine uncle of the seminary, 
The Oratorian, than thy father's son. 
A monk may put his trust in beads and sackcloth ; 
But Olivers saints wore buff, and their right hands 



58 OLIVER NEWMAN. VII. 

Wrought for themselves the miracles they ask'd for. 
Think not, young man, that I disparage prayer, 
Because I hold that he, who calls on Heaven 
For help against his temporal enemies, 
Then with most cause and surest hope prefers 
His supplication, when he best exerts 
The prudence and the strength which God hath 
given him. 

OLIVER. 

There is a strength in patience which exceedeth 
All other power ; a prudence in the Gospel 
Passing, as needs it must, all human wisdom. 
That Gospel teaches passiveness and peace. 

LEVERETT. 



Patience he needs, Heaven knows ! who hath to 

deal 
With one enamour'd of a young opinion, 
And like a giddy amorist pursuing 
The passionate folly, reckless where it leads him 
Remember that you come not here to teach : 
Remember too, that something like respect 
Is due to years, and something to experience ; 

Some deference to our station ; some attention 

And this at least will be allow'd — to one 
Who at all hazards has approved himself 
Thy mother's friend, and would no less be thine. 

Abash'd at that reproof severe 
Stood Oliver, unable to abate 






VH. THE INDIAN WAR. 59 

The rising glow of shame that fired his cheek, 

Or check the starting tear. 

But then the Governor's eye compassionate 

Even in reproof, — the pause he interposed, — 

The low relenting tone wherein he closed 

His stern though fit authoritive strain, 

Temper'd the needful pain. 

" best and kindest friend, 

friend revered, I feel and own, 

Whether I spake in error or in truth, 

That thy rebuke is just," replied the youth: 

" Forgive me ! and no more will I offend - r 

But listen, and in all things, that I may, 

Humbly and zealously obey." 

LEVERETT-. 

Hear then, and patiently, while I instruct thee 

Of things as yet unchronicled in books, 

But bearing on this crisis, and the knowledge 

Whereof in thine adventure will be found 

Specially needful. When the English laid 

The poor foundations of our colony, 

(For poor indeed they seem'd ; and yet I ween 

In happy hour a corner-stone was placed 

That ne'er shall be removed !) they found the land 

Contested sometimes, and sometimes possess'd 

In captious peace, between three powerful nations, 

Or rather families of tribes. Omitting 

The minor distributions (which are many 

And barbarous all), suffice it to name these 



60 OLIVER NEWMAN. VII. 

In the order of their strength : the Pequods first ; 

The Narhagansets, unto whom belong 

Thy ransom'd captives ; lastly, the Moheagans, 

Who occupied the immediate territory 

Whereon our sad adventurers set foot. 

With Massasoyt, chief Sachem of the latter, 

A league was made, of mutual benefit; 

For, under Providence, his only friendship, 

In the first hardships of the settlement, 

Saved them alive ; and their alliance proved 

A shield against his enemies. This being 

The end to which he look'd, who was a man 

Advanced in years, far-sighted, honourable 

And of a spirit, which, if he had swayed 

An European sceptre, might have blest 

The people over whom its rule extended, 

The league was faithfully on both sides observed ; 

And ere his death the old man solemnly 

Renew'd it for his sons, who for themselves 

In their own persons ratified the engagement. 






But men and times were changed, when the elder 

youth 
Succeeded to his sire ; for the Colonists, 
Now well acquainted with these Indian neighbours, 
Loath'd their unseemly usages, abhorr'd 
Their most incredible cruelty, despised 
Their easy ignorance, — and practised on it. 
I seek not to conceal our own offences : 
Compared with other nations, — even with England, 
Such as corrupted England long hath been, — 
We are a sober, yea, a righteous people : 



VIL THE INDIAN WAR. 61 

But Trade, which in the mother-land is one 

Of many wheels, bearing a part alone, 

And that too but subordinate, in the movements 

Of a complicate and wonderful machine, 

Is in our simple order the main-spring 

That governs all. And where Trade rules, alas ! 

Whatever name be worshipp'd in the temples, 

Mammon receives the heart's idolatry, 

And is the god of the land. 

Our Indian friends 
Too soon had reason to abate their friendship ; 
And politic interests, which had held them to us, 
Were loosen'd, when they saw their ancient foes, 
The dreaded Pequods, by our arms pursued 
In vigorous war, and rooted from the land, 
Till the name alone remained, with none to own it. 
This Alexander, so the youth was called, 
Finding that check removed, and being also 
By his father's death set free from all control, 
Plotted against the English, in resentment 
Partly, no doubt, because strict pains in teaching 
(Less wise than well-intended) had been spent 
On his indocile and unwilling spirit ; 
But having injuries also to provoke 
A haughty courage. Ere his schemes were ripe 
He was, on sure intelligence, arrested ; 
And disappointed malice, joined with anger, 
Raising a fever in his heart and brain, 
Deliver'd him from our restraint by death. 
He left a brother, who inherited 



; 



62 OLIVER NEWMAN. VII. 

His rights and wrongs, — that Philip who is now 
The scourge and terror of the colony. 

Think not that these were names imposed in bap< 

tism : 
Upon that point the heart of Massasoyt 
Was harden'd ; and his sons, like him, regarded 
With mingled hatred and contempt a faith 
They fail'd to understand. But it is held 
A mark of honour to bestow, a pledge 
Of friendship to receive, new appellations ; 
Which here too, among savages, import 
Something of peerage, of deserved esteem, 
Or of imputed worth, the commonalty 
(Strange as such custom may appear) being name- 
less. 
My predecessor, with too true presage, 
Fix'd on these names, less for the Christian sound 
Which use hath given them, than because he saw 
In the one youth an enterprising temper, 
Ambitious of command ; and in the other, 
More to be fear'd, a deep dissembling spirit, 
Which, if the time required, could brook its wrongs, 
And in all outward patience chew the while 
The cud of bitter thoughts. He being yet young, 
The station, which his sire had fill'd, devolved 
Upon a chief, who was alike approved 
In council and in war ; the right remaining 
For Philip to succeed in course of years, 
If years should validate the acknowledged claim 
Of birthright ; for that claim, among the Indians, 
Is held defeasible by ill-desert. 



VII. THE INDIAN WAR. 63 

» 

During this lapse of time, old rivalries 

Revived between the two remaining tribes ; 

Whom ere the Pequods' power was crush'd, the sense 

Of danger from that common enemy 

Restrain'd in peace. Not to prolong my tale 

With details not required for thy instruction, 

The sum was this, that, as by treaty pledged 

And justice bound, (for the right cause was theirs, 

And interest also led us to uphold 

The weaker side,) we aided the Moheagans, 

Our first allies ; and, when they took in battle 

The hostile leader Miantonnimo, 

He suffer'd death, by our advice and sanction ; 

Being however, at our instance, spared 

From all those customary cruelties, 

Which make the Indians odious in the sight 

Of God and man. Seem I to speak severely, 

Beyond what truth or Christian charity 

May warrant ? Soon, my friend, thou wilt have 

cause 
To give that sentence thy convinced assent ; 
God in his mercy grant thou may'st not buy 
The sad conviction dearly ! 

For awhile 
The hatred which this left between those nations 
Was our security ; albeit we knew 
That, in the offended party, the desire 
Of vengeance would outlive the gratitude 
Due for our help, from those whom we had succour'd. 
The sense of injury in the human mind 
Is like a drug upon the offended palate, 



64 OLIVER NEWMAN. VII. 

Clinging when bitterest most abidingly : 

The benefits, which men receive, they take 

Like wholesome food, that leaves no tang behind it. 

We found it thus : for now these Tribes, foregoing 

Their mutual hatred, as of lesser moment, 

Have leagued against us. Philip is the head 

Of the confederacy : his crafty brain 

Combines, provides, prepares and plans the mischief. 

And yet his venomous will and strong desire 

Draw him to this, against his better judgment, 

Possess'd not more with wise prudential fear 

Than with a strange religious awe, so weighty 

That, politic as he is, he hath not sought 

Even from his own people to conceal 

Its dark forebodings. What he wants in hope 

His new ally the Narhaganset Sachem 

Supplies but all too well : for this Canonchet, 

Son of that Miantonnimo whose death 

He charges on our counsels, is the heart 

Of the league. Insidious, resolute, inhuman ; 

Brave, both in passive and in active courage, 

Almost beyond belief ; implacable 

In malice ; wily as a snake to wind 

His silent way unseen, when time requires 

Concealment ; furious as a hungry wolf, 

When opportunity allows the indulgence 

Of his fierce hatred, — this man is accomplish'd 

To the height of savage virtue. 

Need I tell thee, 
That, as in civil, so in barbarous states, 



VII. THE INDIAN WAR. 65 

The course of action takes its bias less 

From meditation, and the calm resolve 

Of wisdom, than from accident and temper, 

Private advantage at all costs pursued, 

Private resentments recklessly indulged, 

The humour, will, and pleasure, of the leaders, 

The passions and the madness of the people. 

Under all climes, and in all forms of rule, 

Alike the one, the many, or the few, 

Among all nations of whatever tint, 

All languages, these govern everywhere ; 

The difference only is of less or more, 

As chance, to use the common speech, may sway ; 

In wiser words, as Providence directs. 

The bond wherein these hostile tribes are knit 

Against us, policy cannot untie, 

Nor the sword cut. No easy conquest ours, 

Such as the Spaniards found in Mexico, 

Or Eldorado's priestly monarchies, 

Or the well-order'd Incas' rich domains ; 

They could cope there with multitudinous hosts 

Drawn forth in open field, and kings whose will, 

Even in captivity was through the realm 

Religiously obey'd. But we must wage 

Wars that will yield the soldier neither gold 

Nor glory. In the forest and the swamp 

Have we to seek our foes ; and if the shield 

Of the good Angel be not over us, 

On all sides from safe cover with sure aim 

The death-shots whiz. Would we then clear the 

land, 
It is not to be done by victories ; 

F 



66 OLIVER NEWMAN. VII. 

But head by head must they be hunted down, 

Like wolves ; a work of danger and of time ; 

And in this region wild of endless woods, 

Possible only to the inveterate hatred 

Of tribe for tribe. We tried the extremity — 

Inhuman as it is — against the Pequods ; 

And, with the ferine help of such allies, 

Pursued it to the end. All whom the sword 

Spared, or our mercy interposed to save 

From torments, to the Sugar Isles were sold ; 

And in the daily death of bondage there 

The race hath been consumed. But what hath been 

The issue ? Why, the tribes which aided us 

To root them out, stand on the hostile part 

Against us now the more audaciously, 

Because they feel themselves in union strong, 

And see us in the land without allies. 

The hope thy hazardous adventure offers 

Is this, that, if the die, whereon thy fate 

For life or death is set, fall favourably, 

And thou shouldst gain access among the elders, 

The exasperate mood, which would too surely else 

Repel our proffer'd terms of amnesty, 

May toward thee be soften'd. For these people 

Act sometimes upon impulse, like thyself; 

A generous action wins them, whom no fear 

Can touch, nor pity move ; and they will trust, 

Like dogs and children, to a countenance, 

Wherein, as if instinctively, they read 

Fair testimonials from the unerring hand 

Of Nature, patent there. And if one tribe, 

One chief, unto thy words of peace incline 



VII. THE INDIAN WAR. 67 

A willing ear, the league in all its parts 
Will feel its ill-compacted strength relax : 
Once loosen'd, it dissolves. 

The Governor 
Paused then ; and fixing on the youth a look 
Benign though mournful, " Mark me, Oliver," 
He said ; " I call upon thy mother's soul 
To witness — if the spirits of the dead 
Are cognizant of what is done below — 
That I have sought in all sincerity 
To turn thee from thy purpose ! If the event 
Be fatal, before thee, and her, and Heaven, 
Shall I stand unreproved ; and with my sorrow 
No self-reproach will mingle. But if still 
Thy purpose holdeth firm, God speed thee ! Go 
In hope ! I would not that my words should prove 
A load to weigh thy buoyant spirit down. 
It may be thou may'st render to the state 
Some eminent service in this time of need . 
And thus — O son of an unhappy house, 
Born to a sad inheritance ! — it may be, 
That in this other England, this new world, 
Thou may'st recast thy fortunes ; may'st acquire 
Such honour as consists with peace of mind 
In the end ; and for thy children's children gain 
In this good land a goodly heritage.

PASTING WORDS. 

Son of a hapless house ! 

What were the thoughts which then within thy breast, 

At thy true friend's concluding words, arose ? 

Doth that quick flush disclose 

A feeling thou hast labour'd to control, 

And hitherto represt 

In singleness of heart and strength of soul ? 

A light, which like a sudden hope might seem, 

Kindled his cheek, and brighten' d in his eye : 

But it departed like a gleam, 

That for a moment in the heavy sky 

Is open'd when the storm is hurrying by; 

And then his countenance resumed 

Its meek serenity. 

Nor did that sad composure change, 

When of the gentle maiden Leverett spake, 

Whom to his charge her mother's dying prayer 

In Christian confidence consign'd. 

And yet it was a theme which well might wake 

Oppugnant feelings in his inmost mind ; 

For with a hope upon that mother's heart, 



VIII. PARTING WORDS. 69 

Implied, though not express'd, the solemn care 

Was given ; and therefore in the young man's heart 

Uneasily it lay, 

As if he were unjust, 

And had received a trust 

He could not, must not, did not dare — 

And yet would fain — repay. 

" That trust I could not choose but take," he said ; 
" And all that I stand pledged for to the dead 
Is soon discharged ; it will not from my way 
Detain me long, nor lead me far astray." 

" 'Tis but the easy distance of a day 

From Hadley," quoth the Governor; and he spread 

A map before them, rudely drawn, wherein 

Wild forests stretching far and wide were seen, 

Hi vers whose inland course was unexplored, 

And infant settlements, as yet ill-stored, 

Few, and with dreary intervals between. 

" Here in the vale of the Connecticut/' 

Said Leverett, " Willoby's allotment lies : 

A part from our immediate enemies 

Eemote, and, if reliance might be put 

On distance, safe. From hence it bears due west 

Some ^Ye days' travel through the woods ; and now 

The least frequented path will be the best, 

That thou may'st leave behind thee on the left 

The troubled country. Here thou see'st it, south, 

About these creeks and inlets and the mouth 

Of Providence river, and the region wide 

Of lakes and swamps in woodland interspersed, 

p 3 



<0 OLIVER NEWMAN. VIII. 

That darkens o'er the land on every side. 
This then will be thy course, to render first 
The damsel to her father's hands ; then seek 
Thy fortune with thine Indian company 
In the Narhaganset lands. If it fall fair, 
Thou wilt among their people leave them there, 
And to that painful interview proceed, 
Which of thy dearest hope, full well I know, 
Must undeceive thee. It shall be my care 
To the Connecticut thy way to speed ; 
From thence, alas ! I can but follow thee 
With anxious thoughts in spirit and in prayer. 
But I will suffer no ill bodings now : 
The Lord is merciful, and thy intent 
Is righteous, and to Him we leave the event." 

Thus having ended, to the board he led 

His guest : too full of care were they 

For appetite or easy talk that day. 

" This caution let me give thee," Leverett said, 

" That Willoby is a high old Cavalier!" 

" Fear not lest I should jar upon his ear 

With ill-attuned discourse," the Youth replied. 

" He bore a part, a brave one too, I hear, 

In those unhappy times, and may look back 

Upon the strife with passion and with pride : 

My soul abhors the ill deeds on either side, 

Even if it had not cost me all too dear. 

Likelier it is that in my Father's sight 

I may appear degenerate, and excite 

Sorrow or sterner notions in a heart, 

The which, albeit with piety imbued, 



VIII. PARTING WORDS. 71 

Is to a Christian temper unsubdued : 

But this too I can bear. Oh what a strength 

For sufferance to the patient soul is given 

When, wholly humbled, it hath placed at length 

Its only hope in Heaven." 

" Nay," answer'd Leverett, " earth, I trust, hath yet 

Good hope for thee in store, 

One day with fair performance to be crown'd : 

For one who doth so well discharge the debt 

Of filial duty, will not Heaven fulfil 

The eternal promise which it made of yore ? 

Happy, and long, I trust, thy days shall be, 

Here, in the land which the Lord giveth thee." 

And then, as if with such discursive speech 

To draw his mind from gloomy thoughts away, 

Did Leverett reach 

His lifted hand towards the town and bay, 

Bright in the morning sunshine as they lay 

Before them : " Is it not a goodly land," 

He cried. " where nought is wanting that may bless 

The heart of man with wholesome happiness ? 

Summer subdues not here 

To sloth the dissolute mind ; 

Nor doth the rigorous year 

In long inaction bind 

His ice-lock'd arm and torpid faculties. 

But changeful skies 

And varying seasons, in their due career, 

Bring forth his powers ; and in the vigorous frame 

The human spirit thrives and ripens here ! 

Where might the sober mind, 

F 4 



72 OLIVER NEWMAN. VIII. 

Which Heaven with temperate desires hath blest, 

A land of happier promise find ? 

Where might a good man fitlier fix his rest ? 

Where better might he choose a burial-place 

For him and for his race ? 

Where wiselier plant the tree 

Of his posterity ? " 

The smile wherewith the youth received his speech 

Was cold and feeble, — one in which the heart 

Too plainly had no part ; 

Constrain'd it came, and slowly past away. 

" Truly thou say'st, O friend!" 

He said ; " and well are they 

Who, far from plagues and plots, and from the rage 

Of faction, for their children may prepare 

A peaceful heritage. 

For me, if other end 

Await me, fall my fortune as it may, 

A comfort and a strength it is to know 

That, wheresoe'er I go, 

There is the same Heaven over me on high, 

Whereon in faith to fix the steady eye ; 

The same access for prayer ; 

The same God, always present, every where ; 

And if no home, yet every where the bed 
Which Earth makes ready for the weary head. 

" But wherefore should I talk of weariness 

Thus early in the day, 

And when the morning calls me on my way ? 

In brightness and in beauty hath it risen, 



.VIII. PARTING WORDS. 73 

As if the eternal skies 

Approved and smiled upon our enterprise ! 

Now then farewell ! That we shall meet again, 

True friend ! we know ; but whether among men 

Or angels who can tell ? It is not ours 

To choose, or to foresee ; 

Such choice or foresight would but ill agree 

With man's imperfect powers, 
Enough for him, that what is best will be."

IX. 

JOURNEY THROUGH THE FOREST. 

They are on their way, and they have enter'd now 

The forest that from earliest time hath stood, 

By human culture unsubdued. 

Strangelier assorted company 

Than this, which through that ancient wood 

Their solitary course pursued, 

No errant knight might chance to see, 

Wandering, in good King Arthur's days, 

Through Faery or Loegria land, 

Where most adventures were at hand. 

Liken'd the gentle Annabel might be 

To sweet Serena, ere the blatant mouth 

And cankerous tooth 

Had with their venom stain'd her harmless youth. 

And he who paced beside her steed 

Might seem, in form, and strength, and manly grace, 

Like Calidore, when he had laid aside 

His glorious thoughts and martial pride, 

And, as a shepherd, in the sylvan shade r 

Woo'd Pastorella for his bride, 

Contented to forego for her the meed 

Of high desert; and with true love 

How largely for ambition overpaid ! 

Such Oliver might seem, and such the maid. 



IX. JOURNEY THROUGH THE FOREST. 75 

But lighter hearts, I ween, of yore 

The errant knights and damsels bore, 

In ages when the shield and lance 

Gave law through all the realms of Old Romance ; 

Who roam'd at hap, or on adventure bent, 

Searching the seas, the isles, and continent ; 

When they, in bower, in hermitage, and hall, 

Were welcomed every where by all, 

Or underneath the greenwood tree 

Took up their inn contentedly. 

For in that pensive maiden's mien 

Had recent sorrow left its trace, 

And plainly too might there be seen 

A present trouble in her face : 

She fear'd the melancholy meeting, 

When grief would mar her father's greeting ; 

And hardly less, I ween, the pain 

With which she soon must part 

From one whose image would remain 

The inmate of her heart. 

For wishes, from herself till now conceal'd — 

Conceal'd, if not represt — 

And thoughts, to which the will had not consented, 

Forlornly as she felt them now reveal'd, 

Her secret soul unwillingly confess'd, 

Unwillingly repented : 

And hopes, that had arisen she scarce knew how, 

Were first acknowledged when they fail'd her now. 

Think not that Oliver was free 
The while from painful sympathy: 



76 OLIVER NEWMAN. IX. 

What more had he required his lot to bless, 

Than in the depth of those clear eyes was seem — 

The modest, meek, confiding gentleness, 

That soften'd while it sanctified her mien ; 

Those looks, devoid of art, 

Whose mild intelligence he loved to meet ; 

The voice, that, varying still, but always sweet, 

Still found a chord responsive in his heart ? 

If ever at his fate he half repined, 

If ever o'er his calm and constant mind 

The doubt, the trouble, and the cloud, were brought, 

'Twas at the thought, 

That cruel circumstance two souls must sever, 

Whom God, he surely felt, would else have join'd 

for ever. 

Uneasy now became perforce 

The inevitable intercourse, 

Too grateful heretofore : 

Each in the other could descry 

The tone constraint, the alter'd eye. 

They knew that each to each could seem 

No longer as of yore ; 

And yet, while thus estranged, I deem, 

Each loved the other more. 

Her's was perhaps the saddest heart ; 

His the more forced and painful part : 

A sense of proper maiden pride 

To her the needful strength supplied. 

Then first perhaps the Virgin thought 

How large a dower of love and faithfulness 

Her gentle spirit could have brought 

A kindred heart to bless ; 



IX. JOURNEY THROUGH THE FOREST. 7 

Herself then first she understood 

With what capacities endued ; 

Then first, by undeserved neglect 

Roused to a consciousness of self-respect, 

Felt she was not more willing to be won 

Than worthy to be woo'd. 

Had they from such disturbant thoughts been free, 

It had been sure for them 

A gladsome sight to see 

The Indian children, with what glee 

They breathed their native air of liberty. 

Food to the weary man with toil forespent 

Not more refreshment brings, 

Than did the forest breeze upon its wings 

To these true younglings of the wilderness : 

A happy sight, a sight of hearts content ! 

For blithe were they 

As swallows, wheeling in the summer sky 

At close of day ; 

As insects, when on high 

Their mazy dance they thread 

In myriads overhead, 

Where sunbeams through the thinner foliage gleam, 

Or spin in rapid circles as they play, 

Where winds are still, 

Upon the surface of the unrippled stream : 

Yea, gamesome in their innocence were they 

As lambs in fragrant pasture, at their will 

The udder when to press 

They run, for hunger less 

Than joy, and very love and wantonness. 



78 OLIVER NEWMAN IX. 

Nor less contentment had it brought 

To see what change benevolence had wrought 

In the wild Indian mother, whom they first 

Had seen, her spirit strong 

Madden'd by violence of wrong, 

For vengeance in her inmost soul, 

With natural but with ferine rage, athirst. 

That soul unhoped-for kindness had subdued : 

Her looks, and words, and actions, now combined, 

Express'd, in that composure of the mind 

Which uneffaceable sorrow had left behind, 

A lively ever-watchful gratitude. 

Oliver seem'd to her a creature 

Less of this earth than of celestial nature ; 

And Annabel as well 

Had won from her a love like veneration ; 

(So goodness on the grateful heart can gain; ) 

Though charms of European tint and feature 

No beauty to an Indian eye convey, 

Regarded with disdain, 

As if they were the original stamp and stain 

Of an inferior clay, 

Proved in some earlier, inexpert creation, 

And then, for degradation, 
When the red man was fashion'd, put away. 

Pamya was troubled now, for she had seen 

Their alter'd mien : 

Some change there was, she knew not what, nor why, 

Some infelicity ; 

W^hich yet she might descry 



IX. JOURNEY THROUGH THE FOREST. 79 

Rose not from wrath nor alienated will; 

For in their converse still 

The tones were such as meet 

The ear of love, and still 

The smiles they interchanged, though sad, were sweet : 

Yet plainly she could tell, all was not well. 

They too could read in her observant eye 

Its apprehension and its sympathy: 

And surely she, had but her speech been free, 

Had prest, how earnestly ! for explanation, 

And sought to bring about 

The full and perfect reconciliation 

Dearly desired by both, she did not doubt. 

Their hearts were merciful and meek she knew. 

And could not to each other but be true : 

But on her tongue the curse of Babel hung, 

And when the eager wish her breast was swelling, 

Eye-speaking thoughts were all she could impart, 

Intelligibly telling 

The deep indwelling yearnings of the heart. 

Four days they travell'd through the endless wood, 

Measuring their journey still to reach at eve 

Some settler's home, and sure of their receiving 

Such hospitality, sincere, though rude, 

As men who felt no want, and had no vice 

Of chilling avarice, 

In their plain kindness found a joy in giving. 

The fifth morn rose, and with the morn rose they. 

That they might reach that day 

Their journey's end ; and through the forest wide 

Did they their weary way 



80 OLIVER NEWMAN. IX. 

Hold on from early dawn till eventide ; 

But ere the light of eve 

Began to fade, their guide, 

Accustomed to descry 

With instantaneous eye 

The slightest trace of man, a smoke espied, 

Staining a little space of open sky : 

" Yon is the place we seek ! " he said ; nor knew 

What a cold feeling, at the words, ran through 

The veins of Annabel, and Newman too. 






81 



Oh, what a happy meeting had been here, 

Willoby thought, in anguish, when he prest 

His daughter to his widow'd breast ; 

If that dear hope which served so long to cheer 

His patient labours in the wilderness 

Had wholly been fulfill'd, as now in part ; 

After so many storms and troubles past, 

Here had the faithful partner of his heart 

Rejoiced to reach the quiet port at last.

APPENDIX 



OLIVER NEWMAN. 



The following sketch of the story intended to be worked 
out in this poem is, with the exception of those passages 
otherwise appropriated by references, drawn from very brief 
and sometimes contradictory notes in Mr. Southey's hand- 
writing. 

In the published letters from Mr. Southey to Mr. W. 
Taylor of Norwich, there is a passage, written in Jan. 1811, 
which records the earliest germ of this poem in his mind. 
"In reviewing Holmes's American Annals, I pointed out 
Philip's war as the proper subject for an Anglo-American 
Iliad. I have now fallen in love with it myself, and am 
brooding over it with the fall intention of falling to work as 
soon as Pelayo is completed. The main interest will fix 
upon Goffe the regicide, for whom I invent a Quaker son, a 
new character you will allow for heroic poetry. This Oliver 
Goffe, however, is to be the hero." The poem itself is in 
the first draught called Oliver Goffe. 

The facts relating to those regicides whose fate is alluded 
to in the poem are as follow : * " When the restoration ap-

peared inevitable, Colonel Goffe, with his father-in-law, 
Colonel Whalley, seeing that their life was in danger, left 
the kingdom, and arrived in America on the 27th of July, 
1660. For some time they resided at Cambridge, four miles 
from Boston, attending public service, and being received 
with respect and hospitality by the inhabitants. But when 
the Act of Indemnity, out of which they were expressly ex- 
cepted, arrived at Boston, in November, the magistrates 
withdrew their protection, and Whalley and Coffe retired to 
Newhaven. Here they were forced to conceal themselves, 
and eventually to fly to a retirement, called Hatchet's Har- 
bour, in the woods, where they remained two nights, till a cave 
in the side of a hill was prepared to conceal them. To this 
hill they gave the name of Providence, and remained some 
weeks in their hiding-place, sleeping, when the weather was 
tempestuous, in a house near it. They behaved with great 
honour to their friends : and when Mr. Davenport, the mi- 
nister of Newhaven, was suspected by the magistrates of 
concealing them, they went publicly to the deputy-governor 
of Newhaven to offer themselves up ; but he refused to take 
any notice of them, suffering them to return again to the 
woods. The pursuit of them afterwards relaxing, they re- 
mained two years in a house near Milford, where they fre- 
quently prayed and preached at private meetings in their 
chamber ; till the king's commissioners coming to Boston, 
they were again driven to their cave in the woods. Here 
some Indians discovered their beds, which obliged them to 
seek a fresh refuge ; and they went to Hadley, 100 miles 
distant, where they were received by Mr. Russell, the mi- 
nister, and remained as long as they lived, very few persons 
knowing who they were. Whalley's death took place about 
1679. They confessed that their lives were " miserable, and 
constant burdens to them ;" especially when their fanatical 
hopes of some divine vengeance on Charles II. and his ad- 
visers were perpetually disappointed. The fidelity and affec-

tion of Goffe's wife to her husband were remarkably dis- 
played in her letters." 

While they were at Hadley the Indian war broke out, 
which was particularly disastrous in that part of the colony.* 
" The following story has been traditionally conveyed down 
among the inhabitants of Hadley. In the course of Philip's 
war, which involved almost all the Indian tribes in New 
England, and amongst them those in the neighbourhood of 
this town, the inhabitants thought it proper to observe the 
1st of September, 1675, as a day of fasting and prayer. 
While they were in the church, and employed in their wor- 
ship, they were surprised by a band of savages. The people 
instantly betook themselves to their arms, which, according 
to the custom of the times, they had carried with them to the 
church, and, rushing out of the house, attacked their invaders. 
The panic under which they began the conflict was, however, 
so great, and their number was so disproportioned to that of 
their enemies, that they fought doubtfully at first, and in a 
short time began evidently to give way. At this time an 
ancient man, with hoary locks, of a most venerable and dig- 
nified aspect, and in a dress widely differing from that of the 
inhabitants, appeared suddenly at their head, and with a firm 
voice, and an example of undaunted resolution, reanimated 
their spirits — led them again to the conflict — and totally 
routed the savages. When the battle was ended, the stranger 
suddenly disappeared ; and no person knew whence he had 
come, or whither he had gone. The relief was so timely, so 
sudden, so unexpected, and so providential ; the appearance 
and the retreat of him who furnished it, were so unaccount- 
able, his person was so dignified and commanding, his reso- 
lution so superior, and his interference so decisive, that the 
inhabitants without any uncommon exertion of credulity, 
readily believed him to be an angel sent by Heaven for their

1823.

preserration. Nor was this opinion seriously controverted 
until it was discovered, several years afterwards, that Goffe 
and Whalley had been lodged in the house of Mr. Russell. 
Then it was known that their deliverer was Goffe, Whalley 
having become superannuated some time before the event took 
place." The latter part of Goffe's life seems not to be known 
with certainty. Dwight says, immediately before the passage 
above quoted, " After Whalley's death, Goffe quitted Hadley, 
went into Connecticut, and afterwards, according to tradition, 
to the neighbourhood of New York. Here he is said to have 
lived some time, and, the better to disguise himself, to have 
carried vegetables at times to market. It is said that having 
been discovered here, he retired secretly to the colony of 
Rhode Island, and there lived with a son of Whalley during 
the remainder of his life." 

Goffe's was a divided family — one of his brothers being 
a clergyman of the Church of England, while another was 
become a Roman Catholic priest. To this division allusion 
is made in Leverett's conversation with Oliver. Of the other 
persons introduced, the following are historical : Leverett the 
governor, who succeeded Bellingham, in 1673; he had been 
a Cromwellian, and is sobered into a rational Conformist ; 
he knew where the regicides were, and connived at their 
concealment, as he is represented doing in the poem : and 
Randolph, of whom the people of New England said " that 
he went up and down to devour them." Also the names of 
the Indian chieftains, and the general account of the war, are 
matter of history. 

The hero Oliver himself is therefore a purely imaginary 
character : he was originally intended to be a Quaker ; but 
it would appear that the author afterwards considered that 
the noble points of character and of principle intended to be 
exhibited — viz. zeal for the Christian faith, inflexible truth, 
peacefulness, and endurance — were not exclusively belong- 
ing to that sect whose operations and whose sufferings in 
New England he had been contemplating ; and at the same 
time, that some features of their character were both unma- 



APPENDIX. 87 

nageable in poetry and distasteful to his own mind. There was 
also another reason for the alteration, namely, that he found 
it necessary for his plot, that, at least in one instance, Oliver's 
usual mode of conduct should bend to circumstances ; and 
such a compliance would be morally, and therefore poetically, 
probable in a person swayed only by a reasonable principle, 
but not so in one governed by an absolute rule of life. The 
following notes will explain the intended bearing of this cha- 
racter upon the story. 

1811. "A son of Goffe, a Quaker, gone after his mother's 
death to seek his father. He, by converting one of the prin- 
cipal Sachems, weakens Metacom's party so materially as to 
decide the contest ; and with that Sachem he retires into the 
interior. He and his father are discovered, and he will not 
lift his hand in defence. A party of Indians take them alL, 
he still passive; hence his influence begins with their 
astonishment." " The points on which Oliver's Quakerism 
is put to the test are, in not denying his father's name, and 
in not lifting a hand to defend him." 

1814. " Oliver must be so far instrumental in terminating 
the war as to obtain security for his father ; and this instru- 
mentality must be effected wholly by means conformable to 
his peculiar opinions. But those opinions must yield where 
they are wrong." 

Imperfectly as the latter part of the story can be ascer- 
tained, it has been thought better to sketch it out, however 
rudely, from the author's hints, than to leave an entire blank. 

X. Oliver at WiUobtfs House. 

They remain awhile at Willoby's, that Pamya may be 
their protection. When some Indians appear, she goes out, 
and finds among a party of Indians one of her own tribe. 
After her story, the calumet is smoked, and the door of 
Willoby's house painted with marks indicating that it was 
under their protection. Then they venture to depart. A sort 
of half-confidence has first been made to Willoby in conse- 
g 4 



88 OLIVER NEWMAN. 

quence of his wife's letter, and a sort of half-engagement 
formed. Willoby had known one of the Goffes. His moral 
reasons for leaving England, — on account of his sons, seeing 
the character of the times, and that all that we pray in the 
Litany to be delivered from, was come upon the country — 
blindness of heart, pride, vain-glory and hypocrisy, envy, 
hatred and malice, false doctrine, heresy and schism, sedi- 
tion, privy conspiracy, and rebellion, &c. 

XI. The Wounded Indian. 

Oliver journeying with Pamya and her children through 
the forest, finds a wounded Indian, by whom they stay till a 
party of his countrymen see them. This is the Mohawk, 
whom Philip had meant to kill, and not scalped, to create a 
belief that he had been killed by the English. (An histori- 
cal fact, and represented as not of unfrequent occurrence.) 
Many hints for forest scenery, which are noted down, would 
probably belong to this canto. At night Oliver is seen read- 
ing by firelight in the wood. 

XII. Whalley' s Body. 

The Indians conduct the party to their Sachem : on the 
way they meet with Whalley's body being conveyed some- 
where for interment. Oliver knows it by a mutilated hand. 
Likeness of Whalley to his daughter [Oliver's mother] ; that 
family character of face, which the infant brings into the 
world, and into which the countenance settles in old age, 
when the character which individual pursuits and passions 
have induced fades away, and the natural lineaments recover 
their primary cast. The death of Whalley sets Goffe at liberty. 
They reach the encampment of Indians, and Pamya is 
restored to her own friends, the Narhagansets. 

XIII. The Affair of Hadley. 

A renegade (in one place named Joshua Tift, the English 
savage and traitor,) being among the Indians, calls Oliver a 



APPENDIX. 89 

spy, insults and strikes him. This Oliver endures patiently, 
making no retaliation. This fellow relates the affair of 
Hadley, "the most disastrous day that ever befell New 
England," and especially the marvellous apparition of one 
during the conflict, who was really Goffe, Oliver's father. 

XIV. Reasoning with the Sachems. 

The interest of this scene is to turn chiefly upon two 
points : the effect for good which Oliver's words have upon 
an old Indian chief, who has formerly been impressed by 
Eliot or R. Williams, and who now puts himself under 
Oliver's guidance. This man belongs to the tribe of Sako- 
nets, who are probably connected with the Narhaganset 
stock. It would have been contrary to history to make the 
Narhaganset chieftain himself influenced at this time by 
Oliver. The other point is, the peculiar character of Philip, 
composed of hatred and vindictiveness against the English, 
united with gloomy forebodings about the issue of the war. 

These may be some of his words, or rather the more 
hopeful Canonchet's : 

The forest and the swamp are our allies ; 

Have we not with these giants of the wood 

A sacred immemorial brotherhood ? 
The land itself will aid her proper children. 

XV. Oliver reaches his Father. 

When Oliver mentions the wilderness, Goffe replies, it is 
not there that he must prepare the way of the Lord, but in 
the streets of London. 

XVI. The Arrest. 

A party sent by Randolph, with Willoby the cavalier at 
their head, surprise them. — Willoby offers to let them go, if 
Oliver will declare that this person is not Goffe. — Meeting 
with Randolph. 



90 OLIVER NEWMAN. 



XVII. Rescue. 

The whole party are surprised by the Sakonets. — Goffe and 
Willoby escape. — Randolph and Oliver are taken, and carried 
to the encampment of the Sachems. — Oliver is recognised 
and welcomed. — Randolph is to be burnt, but Oliver obtains 
his life and safe dismission : they separate. 

XVIII. Defeat of the Indians. 

Goffe meanwhile has rallied some stragglers, who attack 
and defeat the Sakonet party, and take some ; for whom 
Oliver intercedes, engaging for them that they shall commit 
no more hostilities. — He then goes with these Indians to 
negotiate with their tribe. 

XIX. Annabel a Prisoner. 

While this discussion is going on, Annabel is brought in a 
prisoner by the renegade ; in the dispute which ensues, 
Oliver kills him. This is the point in which Oliver's passive- 
ness is to give way to a just wrath. Before he knocks out 
the fellow's brains he stands " trembling, but not with fear." 

XX. Peace. 

The Sakonet tribe make peace with the English ; Oliver 
going with the chiefs to the English head-quarters to sign it. 
— The Mohawk, whom he had saved in the forest, meets him 
there, at the head of his party. 

XXI. Death of Philip. 

Oliver's services are now clearly seen. — Randolph solicits 
for him a grant of land. — Willoby gives him his daughter, 
and Russell marries them. — Pamya's children baptized.

FRAGMENTARY THOUGHTS 

OCCASIONED BY HIS SON'S DEATH.* 



Thy life was a day, and sum it well, life is but a

In sacred silence buried, which was still

* Letter to Mr. W. Taylor, March, 1817. "I have begun 
a desultory poem in blank verse, pitched in a higher key than 
Cowper's, and in a wiser strain of philosophy than Young's ; 
but as yet I have not recovered heart enough to proceed with 
it; nor is it likely that it will be published during my life." 



94 FRAGMENTARY THOUGHTS. 

He to whom Heaven in mercy hath assign'd 
Life's wholesome wormwood, fears no bitterness 

when 
Fromth' hand of Death he drinks the Amreetacup. 



Beauties of Nature, — the passion of my youth, 
Nursed up and ripen'd to a settled love, 
Whereto my heart is wedded. 



Feeling at Westminster, when summer evening 
sent a sadness to my heart, and I sate pining for 
green fields, and banks of flowers, and running 
streams, — or dreaming of Avon and her rocks and 
woods. 



No more great attempts, only a few autumnal 
flowers, like second primroses, &c. 



They who look for me in our Father's kingdom 
Will look for Him also ; inseparably 
Shall we be so remember'd. 



The Grave the house of Hope : 
It is the haven whither we are bound 
On the rough sea of life, and thence she lands 
In her own country, on the immortal shore- 



FRAGMENTARY THOUGHTS. 95 

Come, then, 
Pain and Infirmity — appointed guests, 
My heart is ready. 



My soul 
Needed perhaps a longer discipline, 
Or sorer penance, here. 



A respite something like repose is gain'd 
While I invoke them, and the troubled tide 
Of feeling, for a while allay'd, obeys 
A tranquillising influence, that might seem 
By some benign intelligence dispensed, 
Who lends an ear to man. 

They are not, though, 
Mere unrealities : rather, I ween, 
The ancient Poets, in the graceful garb 
Of fiction, have transmitted earliest truths, 
111 understood ; adorning, as they deem'd, 
With mythic tales things erringly received, 
And mingling with primeval verities 
Their own devices vain. For what to us 
Scripture assures, by searching proof confirm'd, 
And inward certainty of sober Faith, 
Tradition unto them delivered down 
Changed and corrupted in the course of time, 
And haply also by delusive art 
Of Evil Powers.

LITTLE BOOK, IN GREEN AND GOLD. 

Little Book, in green and gold, 
Thou art thus bedight to hold 
Robert Southey's Album Rhymes, 
Wrung from him in busy times : 
Not a few to his vexation, 
By importune application ; 
Some in half-sarcastic strain, 
More against than with the grain ; 
Other some, he must confess, 
Bubbles blown in idleness ; 
Some in earnest, some in jest, 
Good for little at the best : 
Yet, because his Daughter dear 
Would collect them fondly here, 
Little Book, in gold and green, 
Thou art not unfitly seen 
Thus apparell'd for her pleasure, 
Like the casket of a treasure. 
Other owner, well I know, 
Never more can prize thee so. 

Little Book, when thou art old, 
Time will dim thy green and gold. 
Little Book, thou wilt outlive 
The pleasure thou wert made to give: 



106 LITTLE BOOK. 

Dear domestic recollections, 

Home-born loves, and old affections, 

Incommunicable they : 

And when these have past away, 

As perforce they must, from earth, 

Where is then thy former worth ? 

Other value, then, I ween, 

Little Book, may supervene, 

Happily if unto some 

Thou in due descent shouldsrt come, 

Who would something find in thee 

Like a relic's sanctity, 

And in whom thou may'st awake, 

For thy former owner's sake, 

A pious thought, a natural sigh, 

A feeling of mortality. 

When those feelings, and that race, 
Have in course of time given place, 
Little worth, and little prized. 
Disregarded or despised, 
Thou wilt then be bought and sold, 
In thy faded green and gold. 
Then, unless some curious eye 
Thee upon the shelf should spy, 
Dust will gather on thee there, 
And the worms, that never spare, 
Feed their fill within, and hide, 
Burrowing safely in thy side, 
Till transfigured out they come 
From that emblem of the tomb : 



LITTLE BOOK. 107 

Or, by mould and damp consumed, 
Thou to perish may'st be doom'd. 

But if some collector find thee, 
He will, as a prize, re-bind thee ; 
And thou may'st again be seen 
Gayly drest in gold and green. 

9th September, 1831.

LINES WRITTEN IN THE ALBUM OP 
ROTHA Q. 

Rotha, after long delays, 

Since thy book must cross the Raise, 

Down I sit to turn a stave, 

Be it gay or be it grave. 

Wiser wish than what thy name 
Prompts for thee I cannot frame ; 
No where find a better theme 
Than thy native namesake stream. 
Lovelier river is there none 
Underneath an English sun ; 
From its source it issues bright 
Upon hoar Hellvellyn's height, 
Flowing where its summer voice 
Makes the mountain herds rejoice ; 
Down the dale it issues then ; 
Not polluted there by men ; 
While its lucid waters take 
Their pastoral course from lake to lake, 
Please the eye in every part, 
Lull the ear, and soothe the heart, 
Till into Windermere sedate 
They flow and uncontaminate. 



LINES WRITTEN IN ALBUM. 109 

Rotha, such from youth to age 

Be thy mortal pilgrimage ; 

Thus in childhood blithe and free, 

Thus in thy maturity, 

Blest and blessing, may it be ; 

And a course, in welfare past, 

Thus serenely close at last.

IMAGINATION AND REALITY. 



The hill was in the sunshine gay and green, 

The vale below could not be seen ; 

A cloud hung over it, 

A thin white cloud, that scarce was seen to fly, 

So slowly did it flit ; 

Yet cloud methinks I err in calling it, 

It spread so evenly along the sky. 

It gave the hills beyond a hue 

So beautiful and blue, 

That I stood loitering for the view : 

Loitering and musing thoughtfully stood I, 

For well those hills I knew, 

And many a time had travell'd them all o'er; 

Yet now such change the hazy air had wrought, 

That I could well have thought 

I never had beheld the scene before. 

But while I gazed the cloud was passing by ; 

On the slow air it slowly travell'd on, 

Eftsoon and that deceitful haze was gone, 

Which had beguiled me with its mockery ; 

And all things seem'd again the things they were. 

Alas ! but then they were not half so fair 

As I had shaped them in the hazy air !

MADRIGAL, 

TRANSLATED FROM LUIS MARTIN. 

[This poem is selected for publication from a small volume 
of translations, because, having been printed before in a news- 
paper, it attracted the attention of Mr. D' Israeli, who has 
inserted it in the " Curiosities of Literature," as a beautiful 
specimen of a kind of extravagance characteristic of Spanish 
poetry. It seemed, therefore, worth while to place it among 
the poems of the Translator.] 

On the green margin of the land. 

Where Guadalhorce winds his way, 

My Lady lay. 
With golden key Sleep's gentle hand 

Had closed her eyes so bright, 

Her eyes — two suns of light, 

And bade his balmy dews 

Her rosy cheeks suffuse. 
The Eiver God in slumber saw her laid 

He raised his dripping head 

With weeds o'erspread, 
Clad in his watery robes approach'd the maid, 

And with cold kiss, like Death, 
Drank the rich perfume of the maiden's breath. 
The maiden felt that icy kiss ; 

Her suns unclosed, their flame 

Full and unclouded on the intruder came. 



112 



MADRIGAL. 



Amazed, the bold intruder felt 

His frothy body melt, 
And heard the radiance on his bosom hiss ; 
And, forced in blind confusion to retire, 
Leapt in the water to escape the fire. 

February, 1799.

MOHAMMED; 

A FRAGMENT, WRITTEN IN 1799. 



Cloak'd in the garment of green, who lies on the bed of Mohammed, 
Restless and full of fear, yet semblant of one that is sleeping ? 
Every sound of the feet at his door he hears, and the breathing 
Low of inaudible words : he knows their meaning of murder, 
Knows what manner of men await his outgoing, and listens 
All their tread, and their whisp'ring, till even the play of his pulses 
Disturbs him, so deep his attention. The men of the Koreish 
Fix on the green-robed youth their eyes ; impatiently watchful 
Wait they the steps of his rising, the coming of him whom they hated. 
He rises and makes himself pure, and turning towards the Caaba, 
Loud he repeats his prayer ; they hear, and, in eagerness trembling, 
Grasp the hilts of their swords — their swords that are sworn to the 

slaughter. 
But when the youth went forth, they saw, and, behold ! it was Ali ! 
Steady the hero's face : it was pale, for his life was a blessing ; 
It was calm, for in death he look'd on to the crown of the martyr. 
Dark as they were of soul, and goaded by rage disappointed, 
They shed not the blood of the youth, but remember' d their chief- 
tain his father, 
Abu Taleb the good, and respected the virtue of friendship. 

Baffled, and full of wrath, through Mecca they scatter the tidings : 
44 He has fled, has discover' d our plans, has eluded our vengeance. 

I 



114 MOHAMMED. 

" Saw ye the steps of his flight ? Where lurks he, the lying blas- 
phemer ? 

" Now to the chase, to the chase ; seize now the bow and the quiver ; 

" Now with the sword and the spear, ye stubborn of Mecca ! pursue 
him; 

" Seek him now to the north and the south, to the sunset and sunrise ; 
Follow, follow the chosen one's flight !" They rush from the city : 

Over the plain they pursue him, pursue him with cries and with 
curses — 

Sounds that rung over the plain, and rung in the echoing mountains ; 

And Mecca received in her streets the din of their clamorous uproar. 

But the voice of the Moslem, the silent prayer of the faithful, 

Rose to the throne of God ; and tears of the heart overflowing 

Interceded for him whom they loved and believed his apostle. 

" Where is the blasphemous fled? — the lying disturber of Mecca? 
a Has he journey'd to Tayef? Under the shield of his uncle 
" Lurks he for safety there ? — or to Yathreb, the credulous city ? 
" Or seeks he the Ethiop's court, where the earlier runaways shelter ?" 
Lashing their steeds, they pursue; to the east and the dwelling of 

Abbas 
Hasten the thirsty for blood ; to the north they hurry, to Yathreb ; 
Some to the shore of the sea, lest haply a bark might await him, 
And the waves should become his protectors ; impetuously rushing, 
Drive they in fury along ; beneath the hoofs of their horses 
Sparkles the rock of the valley, and rises the dust of the desert. 

Others the while, more cool in wrath, and thoughtful in fury, 
Over the town search sedulous : they in the Hashemites' dwellings 
Seek for the man proscribed ; in the dwellings of Hamza and Omar, 
Ali, Abubeker, and Saad, and Abu Obeidah ; 
All whom the Prophet loved, who believed in the son of Abdallah. 
Every house they search in the populous city, whose threshold 
Ever his feet had trod ; thus vainly through Mecca they seek him 
Then, unassuaged of hate, of rancour and wrath unabated, 
They to the mountains turn, to seek in their dens and retirings 



MOHAMMED. 1 15 

If from the death he lurks : they enter the cavern of Hira, 
Place of his fasting and prayer ; the cavern of Hira is lonely. 
Not in the depth of the cave, and not in the mountain retirings, 
Not in their hollows and glens, can they track the steps of his going. 
So through the day they sought ; and still, when the sun was de- 
scending, 
They were among the hills : then faint, disappointed, and weary, 
Turning their faces homeward, they journey'd slowly and sullen 
Down their rough mountain path ; but often paused, and around them 
Lingered with prowling eyes : a little wide of their pathway, 
Thus as they paused, they saw in the side of the stony mountain 
A cave-mouth, narrow and high : the hill had the hue of the evening 
Rich on its rugged sides, and the chasm was distinct in its blackness. 
Thither turning, they sped ; and one who forewent his companions 
Came to the cavern's mouth : disturb'd by the noise of his footsteps, 
From her nest, in the side of the chasm, a pigeon affrighted 
Fled. The advancing pursuers heard the whirr of her pinions, 
And he who was first exclaim' d, " There is none in the hole of the 

mountain; 
" For lo ! a pigeon fled from her nest at the sound of my coming, 
" And the spider hath spread his network over the entrance." 
Then from the cave he turn'd. 

Was thy spirit shaken, Mohammed, 
When in the depth of the rock thouheardest the voice of the Koreish ? 
He who was with thee trembled ; the sweat on his forehead was chilly, 
And his eyes in alarm were turn'd towards thee in the darkness. 
Silent they satin the rock; nor moved they, nor breathed they; but 

listen'd 
Long to the tread of the feet, that, fainter and fainter sounding, 
Died in the distance now : yet still they were silent, and listen'd. 
Abubeker first, as his fear gave faith to the echo, 
Fresh in his sense alarm'd — " Hark ! hark ! I hear them returning ■ 
" They are many, and we but two !" he whisper'd, in terror. 
" There is a third ! " aloud replied the son of Abdallah — 
"God!" 



116 MOHAMMED. 

So the night came on, and they in the place of their refuge 
Silently sat. And now in hope they listened, awaiting 
Sound of approaching feet — of trusted friend or disciple, 
Bringing them food and tidings, now that the darkness had settled. 
Slow past the expectant hours : nearer the mouth of the cavern 
Eagerly now they drew. The sound of the wind that was passing 
Took from their hope its tone ; and now in its distant murmurs 
They heard the tread of feet ; and now despairingly argued 
Danger was yet abroad, and none could venture towards them. 
Midnight came; and a step was heard — distinctly they heard it : 
Heavier it comes, — and now in the rock — and a voice — it is Ali. 
He in the cave laid down the water-skin that he carried, 
And the figs wrapt under his robe : then told he his tidings. 
Low was his voice, for he spake in fear : " The peril is pressing, 
" Prophet of God, I saw thy foes return in the twilight : 
" Sullen they came from their toil, and talk'd of the search on the 

morrow. 
" The Idolaters joy in thy flight, and grieve at thy safety: 
" God shall remember their joy, and that grief, in the day of his 

judgment. 
" They shall feel in their evil load ! A price is appointed 
" His who shall shed thy blood : but keep thou close in the mountain; 
" God will confound their plots." 

He paused ; so suddenly checking 
Words on their way, as one who tells but half of his errand, 
Loath to utter the worse remainder, that yet must be utter'd. 
Sure if Mohammed had seen his eye, he had read in its trouble 
Tidings of evil to come. At length to the son of Abdallah, 
Telling his tale of woe, spake Ali the first of believers : 
" Prophet, there is grief in thy dwelling: Cadijah in sickness 
" Lies on her bed of pain : for death she is stricken, I fear me.' 
Mohammed heard ; andhebow'd his head, and groan'd for his exile.

M'CULLOCH.— A DICTIONARY, PRACTICAL, THEORETICAL, AND

1 very thick vol. 8vo., illustrated with Maps and Plans, 50s. cloth; or 55s. strongly half- 
bound in Russia, with flexible back. 
" Mr. M'Culloch's Commercial Dictionary has for several years been a vade mecum for 
merchants, traders, ship- owners, and ship-masters, to guide and assist them in conducting the 
details of their respective occupations, we need not therefore expatiate upon the general 
merits of this well-known work, in announcing to the mercantile world a new, enlarged, and 
improved edition. The subjects handled in a commercial dictionary are not of a stationary 
but a progressive character, and those who mostly use such repertories are not curious about 
historical notices or theoretical discussions, but concern themselves solely with practical 
details immediately connected with the present moment. The changes made in our commer- 
cial policy by the Tariff Act o/1842, and the late acts for regulating the corn and colonial 
trades, are so multiform, so important, and affect so many articles and interests, that Mr. 
M l Culloch despaired of introducing them into a supplement of a less size than the original 
work, he has therefore reconstructed his dictionary altogether. We have carefully examined 
this vast work, and are of opinion that the indefatigable author has produced a digest of the 
most useful and authentic information respecting the past and present state of the commerce 
of Europe and the world at large, and the laws and regulations under which commercial 
operations are carried on. We huve not space, nor would it be useful if we had, to enumerate 
the new subjects treated in the edition before us; it will suffice practical men to be assured 
that in the course of their business scarcely any commercial question can arise upon which 
they will not find useful information in Mr. M'Cullcch's well-stored pages."

"A delightful booh for young people, written with great truth and point, and abounding 
in the natural but exciting adventure, that Cape emigrants are sure to encounter. The 
descriptions of natural objects — of the scenes of earth, air, and sea— of plants and animals — 
of the Caffres and their mode of life— are all filled in with the happiest effect. It is one of 
the author's most successful efforts in his more recent and best style, written with the tact, 
simplicity, and obvious moral bearing of Miss Edgeworth's stories for the young, but ani- 
mated by a higher purpose than the Irishwoman' s, and dashed with that romance of travel 
which creates an interest that survives the taste for every other kind of Jictitious narra- 
tive." — Britannia.

be looked for in erudition, sound judgment, wise political remark, and philosophic perspi-

pleasing to an English reader. There can be little doubt, considering the general suffrage
